In the world of Wikipedia, blogging and citizen journalism where
huge masses of information and the capability to disseminate
opinions, thoughts and ideas is available at the click of a mouse
what is the role and impact of political experts? The contributors
to this insightful and original volume argue that across the
western world in general, the political expert occupies as
important a role today as at any time in the past. The ubiquity of
information and the fact that the experts and the organizations to
which they are affiliated may be viewed as having an ideological
agenda has not diminished their role, influence or status.
Governments and the media still rely on them for information and
advice whilst organizations in civil society need them in order to
provide the evidence, arguments and policy recommendations that are
essential to having a voice in the public conversation. By
examining how these policy experts and their think tanks continue
to exert influence across a range of modern western democracies a
better understanding of the role of policy expertise and an
examination of how it may develop and evolve throughout the rest of
the world is reached.
