Think tanks are often thought of as a uniquely US phenomenon.
Although the largest concentration of think tanks is in the United
States, they can be found in virtually every country. Often
overlooked, Canada's think tanks represent a highly diverse and
eclectic group of public policy organizations such as the Canadian
Centre for Policy Alternatives, the C.D. Howe Institute, the Fraser
Institute, and the Mowat Centre among others. In Northern Lights,
Donald Abelson explores the rise of think tanks in Canada and
addresses many of the most commonly asked questions about how, and
under what circumstances, they are able to affect public opinion
and public policy. He identifies the ways in which Canadian think
tanks often prioritize political advocacy over policy research, and
seeks to explain why these organizations are well-suited and
equipped to shape the discourse around key policy issues. The first
comprehensive examination of think tanks in Canada, Northern Lights
is both a primer for those looking to understand the role and
function of think tanks in the policy-making process and a guide to
the leading policy institutes in the country.
