Institute for State Effectiveness
Encyclopedia
The Institute for State Effectiveness (ISE) is a non-governmental organization
based in Washington, D.C.
which seeks to develop integrated approaches to state-building and provide independent, authoritative and practical policy advice to the international community and national leaders who are tasked with creating effective states in a globalized world. The institute was founded in 2005 by Ashraf Ghani
and Clare Lockhart.
The Institute uses a citizen-centered perspective to rethink the fundamentals of the relationship between citizens, the state and the market in the context of globalization.
