OPEN believes in breaking down barriers.
Who We Are
Open Political Economy Network (OPEN) is an international think tank whose mission is to break down barriers.
- Barriers between countries and within them.
- Barriers that privilege some and deny opportunities to others.
- Barriers that entrench established ways of doing things at the expense of new, different and better ones.
OPEN believes in being open to the world, open to everyone in society, and open to the future and all its possibilities for progress.
