Institute of Policy Studies (New Zealand)

The Institute of Policy Studies is a policy studies think tank founded in 1983 at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) was established in 1983 as part of Victoria University of Wellington. Over the decades, the university environment has changed dramatically. When the School of Government was formed in 2002, the IPS became its ‘window’ for applied research, discussion and publication.
