==History==
Atlas was founded in 1981 by Sir Antony Fisher. After founding the Institute of Economic Affairs in London in 1955, Fisher had helped to establish the Fraser Institute, the Manhattan Institute and the Pacific Research Institute in the 1970s. Fisher conceived of Atlas as a means to connect various think tanks via a global network through which the organizations could learn best practices from one another and "pass the best research and policy ideas from one to the other, and so avoid the need to reinvent the wheel." Atlas has been described as "self replicating, a think tank that creates think tanks."
According to the ''2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report'' (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), Atlas is ranked number 57 (of 60) in the "Top Think Tanks in the United States".〔 Other "Top Think Tank" rankings include #26 (of 80) in International Development, #8 (of 75) for Best Institutional Collaboration Involving Two or More Think Tanks, #18 (of 65) for Best Managed Think Tanks, #2 (of 55) for Best Think Tank Conference, #8 (of 60) for Best Think Tank Network, #15 (of 60) for Best Use of Social Networks, #14 (of 60) of Think Tanks with the Best External Relations/Public Engagement Program, and #13 (of 40) for Best Use of the Internet.〕
The president of Atlas is Alejandro Chafuen. Chafuen was named the group's president in 2009 after serving as CEO since 1991.〔
