The Transnational Institute was founded in 1974 as a world-wide fellowship of committed scholar-activists. It was one of the first research institutes established to be transnational in name, composition, orientation and focus. The Transnational Institute is based in Amsterdam, hosting visiting scholars, in-house researchers, and a small administrative and management staff.

In the spirit of public scholarship, and aligned to no political party, TNI seeks to create and promote international co-operation in analysing and finding possible solutions to such global problems as militarism and conflict, poverty and marginalisation, social injustice and environmental degradation.

At the heart of TNI is the committed core of current Fellows and advisors. They include journalists, independent researchers, and senior scholars from similar institutes in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern & Western Europe, Scandinavia and the USA.
We hope that the information on new publications, conferences and website links can be of use to you and/ or your organisation.
