The Instituto Millenium (Millennium Institute), also known by the acronym Imil (or IMIL), is a Brazilian "

world view based on economic liberalism (or "modern right").[3] According to Observatório da Imprensa, it has the support of large corporations and media groups, with the aim of influencing the Brazilian society through the diffusion of ideas of its representatives, experts and columnists.[4]

History

The Instituto Millenium (Imil) was founded in 2005 as "Instituto de Estudos da Realidade Nacional" (Institute for the Study of National Reality). In 2009, Imil became a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest (OSCIP), the equivalent of a

U.S. non-profit organization 501(c)(3).[5]

Activities

Imil discloses its

world view
through "seminars, conferences and meetings around the country, contact with the press and publishing daily analysis on the portal."

Ideological linkage

Officially, Imil declares itself as "unrelated to

property rights, market economy, representative democracy, rule of law and institutional limits to government action".[5] Imil, however, do not assume itself as "liberal", since according to its founder, Patricia Carlos de Andrade, this word was incorrectly translated in Brazil as "rightist" or "supporter of military dictatorships."[6]

Imil aligns itself with similar institutions, Brazilian or international, among them, are the Instituto Liberal, Instituto Liberdade, Instituto Ling, Instituto de Estudos Empresariais,

Atlas Economic Research Foundation.[9]

Thinkers and writers identified with the

political right are also among the founders, experts and regular contributors to Imil. Among them, Rodrigo Constantino.[10]

Funding and structure

By becoming an OSCIP, Imil became eligible to "receive

Bank of America Merrill Lynch.[7] The institute also accepts donations from individuals.[5]

The late Roberto Civita, Grupo Abril's chairman, was also one of the counselors of the Instituto Millenium.[12]
