The Tocqueville Acton Centre for studies and research was founded on June 1st, 2007. It originates from the union of the Lord Acton Centre for Documentation (created in 2007 by the Novae Terrae Foundation and directed by Professor Flavio Felice), and the Tocqueville Study Centre (born in 2006 as part of the Alexis de Tocqueville Association and chaired by Dr. Fabio Giuseppe Angelini). The aim of the merge was to create an independent think tank with a Catholic and liberal outlook; its objectives initially were: - to provide a meeting point for academic professors, intellectuals and business executives with an interest in philosophical, historical, epistemological, political, economical, juridical and cultural issues, connected to an anthropological perspective and to the principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church; - to foster a more knowledgeable and aware public discussion in the fields of market competition, economic development, environment, energy, liberalisation and privatisation, finance and public accounts, media and information, technology and innovation, schooling and academia, welfare and political-institutional reforms. The underlying idea was to create a centre with a Catholic and liberal outlook, in order to elaborate different perspectives on various political and cultural issues; until then, such a centre was not to be found in our country. The Italian branch of the US-based Acton Institute showing the compatibility between classical liberalism and Christianity in modern society.
