List of in-depth interviews. a"Think tanks are nonprofit policy research organizations that provide analysis and expertise to influence policymakers. From the 1970s their number exploded in the U.S. and their proliferation represented a hope that lawmaking might become better informed and more effective as a result of these expert contributions. Instead, as this book documents, the known ideologies of many, especially the newer, think tanks currently contribute to an environment in which they differ little from advocacy organizations, promoting points of view and preordained policy prescriptions. As a result, they fail to achieve desired influence and undermine their credibility."--Jacket 0aPolicy sciencesxResearchzUnited States. 0aPolicy scientistszUnited States. 0aResearch instituteszUnited States. 0aNonprofit organizationszUnited States. 0aExpertisexPolitical aspectszUnited States. 0aPolitical planningzUnited States. 0aLegislative hearingszUnited States. 4aCiencia política xInvestigacioneszEstados Unidos918341 4aCentros de pensamiento zEstados Unidos918609 4aInstitutos de investigación zEstados Unidos918610 4aCientíficos políticos zEstados Unidos918611 4aOrganizaciones sin ánimo de lucrozEstados Unidos93120 4aPlanificación políticazEstados Unidos92420413Sample textuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/cam041/2003065392.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam041/2003065392.html413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam041/2003065392.html 2lcccBK 001040708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2023-04-10l0oH 97 R498t 2004p00000029384r2018-10-24 00:00:00t1w2018-10-24yBK
