Reviews
'Critical Perspectives on Think Tanks offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the global reach of think tanks. Its incisive studies are a must-read, not only for scholars focused on this subject, but for anyone interested in the shifting interface between public policy and scientific reason.' -- Thomas Medvetz, University of California, San Diego, US
'Think tanks are ubiquitous today. This volume is a stellar contribution by showing how these organizations have evolved and adjusted to the post factual world where experts and policy knowledge is constantly contested. Even so, many think tanks have been able to penetrate policy advisory structures in countries around the world. But the contributors go further to delve into their organizational strategies that go beyond seeking to inform policy to reveal the way in which they wield power in shaping policy discourses and paradigms.' -- Diane Stone, European University Institute, Italy and International Public Policy Association, France 'Critical Perspectives on Think Tanks offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the global reach of think tanks.
