Government and individual policymakers throughout the developed and developing world face the common problem of bringing expert knowledge to bear in government decision making. Policymakers need understandable, reliable, accessible, and useful information about the societies they govern. They also need to know how current policies are working, as well as possible alternatives and their likely costs and consequences. This expanding need has fostered the growth of independent public policy research organizations, commonly known as think tanks. Think Tanks and Civil Societies analyzes their growth, scope, and constraints, while providing institutional profiles of such organizations in every region of the world.Beginning with North America, contributors analyze think tank development past and future, consider their relationship to the general political culture, and provide detailed looks at such examples as the Heritage Foundation and the Institute for Research on Public Policy. A historical and subregional overview of think tanks throughout Europe notes the emphasis on European Union issues and points to a dramatic rise in the number and influence of free market institutes across the continent. Think tanks in Germany, Spain, and France are profiled with respect to national politics and cultures. Advanced industrial nations of northern Asia are compared and contrasted, revealing a greater need for independent policy voices. Moving to countries undergoing economic transition, contributors deal with challenges posed in Russia and the former Soviet bloc and their think tanks' search for influence, independence, and sustainability. Other chapters deal with the developing countries of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, finding that the number, quality, and independence of think tanks is largely determined by the degree of democracy in individual nations.

Think Tanks Where Philosophers and Kings Meet

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2001

McGann and Weaver have done a commendable job in advancing our understanding of the role think tanks play in the policy formulation process. This book should be required reading for policy makers and students of public policy alike. Well done, an excellent resource for domestic and international policy wonks who want to know the lay of the land of think tanks at home and abroad. McGann and Weaver outline the historical context and create a clear and comprehensive typology of think tanks. Then they to 29 contributors to provide a world tour of think tanks. The breadth and depth of this book is truly impressive

Thinking around the world

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2001

McGann and Weaver are two of the leading scholars on think tanks and they have done an excellent job of painting the think tank landscape around the world. Thinks Tanks and Civil Societies: Catalyst for Ideas and Action is a comparative study of public policy research organizations and their role in public policy process around the world that deserves to be read by scholars and practioners alike. I found the regional overview chapters to be particularily informative. This book has a wealth of information in it and will prove to be an inportant reference work on the subject. I recommended it highly for domestic and international donors who support these institutions, policy makers and the media who use their products and pundits and the public who relies on them for ideas and action.
