About the World Federalist Movement - Institute for Global Policy
The World Federalist Movement (WFM) is an international citizen's movement working for justice, peace,
and sustainable prosperity. We call for an end to the rule of force, through a world governed by law,
based on strengthened and democratized world institutions. World federalists support the creation of
democratic global structures accountable to the citizens of the world and call for the division of
international authority among separate agencies.
The Institute for Global Policy (IGP) was founded in 1983 by four WFM leaders as the research and policy
analysis arm of the World Federalist Movement. The Institute is the primary education mechanism of
WFM and seeks to promote better understanding of the UN and other international organizations. IGP
was also conceived of as a framework for WFM to promote debate on key issues of global governance in
the media and other matters requiring a more neutral platform.
