China's momentous socioeconomic transformation is not taking place
in an intellectual vacuum: Chinese scholars and public
intellectuals are actively engaged in fervent discussions about the
country's domestic and foreign policies, demographic constraints,
and ever-growing integration into the world community. This book
focuses on China's major think tanks where policies are initiated,
and on a few prominent thinkers who influence the way in which
elites and the general public understand and deal with the various
issues confronting the country.The book examines a number of
factors contributing to the rapid rise of Chinese think tanks in
the reform era. These include the leadership's call for 'scientific
decision-making,' the need for specialized expertise in economics
and finance as China becomes an economic powerhouse, the demand for
opinion leaders in the wake of a telecommunication revolution
driven by social media, the accumulation of human and financial
capital, and the increasing utility of the 'revolving door' nature
of think tanks.It has been widely noted that think tanks and policy
advisors have played an important role in influencing the strategic
thinking of the top leadership, including the formation of ideas
such as the 'Three Represents,' 'China's peaceful rise,' 'One Belt,
One Road,' and the founding of the Asian Infrastructure Investment
Bank (AIIB). In 2014, President Xi Jinping made think tank
development a national strategy, and he claimed that 'building a
new type of think tank with Chinese characteristics is an important
and pressing mission.'Though the media outside China has often
reported on this important development, it has all but escaped
rigorous scholarly scrutiny. This book will categorize Chinese
think tanks by their various forms, such as government agencies,
university-based think tanks, private think tanks, business
research centers or consultancies, and civil society groups. It
will not only analyze the problems and challenges in China's think
tank development, but also reveal the power of ideas.
