Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies, The University of the West Indies ‒ SALISES

Bridgetown (Barbados), Barbados

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

The Sir Arthur Lewis Institute was preceded by the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER). In 1999 the Institute merged with the Mona-based Consortium Graduate School of Social Sciences (CGSSS). SALISES has since been a social science research and graduate teaching operation, extending the legacies of both ISER and CGSSS.
