This innovative book explores think tanks from the perspective of
critical policy studies, showcasing how knowledge, power and
politics intersect with the ways in which think tanks intervene in
public policy. Expert contributors offer multidisciplinary analyses
of the history of policy advice and expertise and highlight recent
examples of how think tanks navigate public debates, political
arenas and the backstage of decision-making. They provide an
overview of historical developments in the emergence and evolution
of think tanks and consider how current think tanks produce policy
narratives and exercise influence through the power of ideas.
Focusing on institutional structures and social forces, chapters
explain how national and transnational think tank landscapes are
organized and how think tanks shape knowledge production
infrastructure in different governance contexts. The book concludes
that evaluating this infrastructure is crucial for ensuring that
policy discourse serves collective interests and inclusive policy
learning in diverse democratic polities. This book's evaluation of
the impact of think tanks on expertise, democracy and social
justice, while utilizing rigorous empirical research, will be
useful for scholars and students of public policy, political theory
and public administration and management. It will also be
beneficial for think tankers and policy analysts.
