About Cavendish Institute

About Cavendish Institute

The Cavendish Institute is an independent, non-profit think tank. Based on advanced research, we give actionable advice to high-level policy makers and to forward looking national governments in the Global South.

Supported by a vast network of distinguished scholars and thought leaders, we make strategic contributions to designs and tools that advance humanity and build a resilient and sustainable global economy.

At Cavendish, we take a more profound perspective of the human condition and its interface with global affairs. Thus, seeing more of humans and our world, we form new understandings of our situation. Embracing concepts and facts, institutional orders, human life forms, the contingent past, complex present, and open future, we set out new insights, values, and imperatives. Against the backdrop of humanity's fundamental purposes and values, we articulate new strategies and actions on this basis.

Thus, our views are driven by advanced research in history, philosophy, and the social sciences, combined with robust thinking about how the Global South can develop in a balanced and accelerated manner.
