Stiftelsen Manifest
Stiftelsen Manifest (also referred to as "Manifest Analyse") is a Norwegian left-wing think tank focused on labour, welfare, and economic inequality. It originates in the trade-union movement and positions itself as a research and analysis centre, meant to shape public debate on social and economic issues. [1]
Manifest is said to be one of Norway’s main advocacy-oriented think tanks. It uses research strategically to influence public debate and operates as an ideologically driven organisation with explicit policy aims (rather than as an academically neutral institution). [2][3]
Manifest has been particularly successful in securing visibility through op-eds, media commentary and placement of its reports in national outlets, making it a prominent actor in public communication around labour and welfare policy. [4]
