Independent institutes conducting policy research, analysis and
public dialogue, or 'think tanks' as they are more commonly known,
are one of the leading catalysts for ideas and action in civil
societies around the world. Examining the role of think tanks in
the policy formulation process, this groundbreaking study provides
the first systematically comparative and methodologically rigorous
map of such organizations and the social, political, legal and
economic conditions that shape their work. Once found only in
advanced industrial democracies, think tanks now provide
information and advice for policymakers in countries as diverse as
India, Lebanon, Chile, Bulgaria, Germany, Senegal and Thailand.
Using case studies of 20 countries across five regions of the world
(Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, Europe and Asia), James
McGann and Erik Johnson explore how the environments in which think
tanks operate serve to expand or constrict their autonomy and
influence. They also suggest ways in which donors, policymakers and
international organizations can ensure the viability and
sustainability of these important institutions. With incisive
analysis and cogent recommendations for how to seed and sustain
independent think tanks around the world, this volume will be of
great interest to those involved with think tanks themselves, as
well as public policy and political science scholars, international
development agencies and policymakers worldwide. The comparative
dimensions of the book will have considerable appeal among students
of comparative politics, public policy and international affairs.
