Bruno Leoni Institute
The Bruno Leoni Institute, named after philosopher and scholar Bruno Leoni, is an Italian libertarian think-tank promoting classical liberal ideas in Italy and in Europe. It was founded in 2003 by three libertarian scholars Carlo Lottieri, Alberto Mingardi and Carlo Stagnaro. IBL organizes conferences, publishes books, briefings and academic papers, and assists undergraduate and graduate students with their research work.
It is regarded as the most important Italian think-tank that promotes climate change denial and delay.
IBL was established in 2003 to promote free-market ideas. In particular, as stated on its website, the Institute aims to “contribute to the Italian political discourse, to enable a proper appreciation of the role of liberty and private enterprise as pillars of a more prosperous and open society”.
The Institute is an Italian libertarian public policy research organization, structured on the model of US think tanks such as the Cato Institute. Through its policy papers, seminars and publishing activities, the Institute aims to offer a fruitful contribution to the Italian and European political debate. In particular, IBL is dedicated to promoting the principles of individual freedom, limited government and free markets and its philosophy is based on Bruno Leoni’s thoughts and ideas.
In its latest 2016 "Global Go To Think Tank Index Report" the University of Pennsylvania ranked IBL as the 113th most influential think-tank in the world, out of more than 6,600 institutes. On a European and global level, IBL is part of a broader international network of research centres informed by the same free-market approach: it joins the efforts of the Atlas Network and is a founding member of EPICENTER.
Several EPICENTER partners such as the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Lithuanian Free Market Institute are funded by the Tobacco Industry and the IBL is identified as a "Partner" on the website of the transnational tobacco company British American Tobacco Italy.
IBL publishes an annual Index that aims to shed light on the degree of openness of the 28 Member States by examining ten different economic sectors, which include petrol and diesel retail, electricity, natural gas, labour markets, postal services, telecommunications, broadcasting, air transport, rail transport and insurance. Media and academicians cite the annual index as a source of information for policy-making and research.
First published in 2007, the IBL Index of Liberalizations has greatly evolved over the years. Between 2007 and 2012, Italy was the only country investigated and analyzed against sectoral benchmarks. In 2013, the index methodology was amplified to the EU15, whilst in 2015 the Index began classifying all of the EU28.
