Book Description
While the number of think tanks active in American politics
has more than quadrupled since the 1970s, their influence has
not expanded proportionally. Instead, the known ideological
proclivities of many, especially newer think tanks with their
aggressive efforts to obtain high profiles, have come to undermine
the credibility with which experts and expertise are generally
viewed by public officials. This book explains this paradox.
The analysis is based on 135 in-depth interviews with officials
at think tanks and those in the policy making and funding organizations
that draw upon and support their work. The book reports on results
from an original survey of congressional staff and journalists
and detailed case studies of the role of experts in health care
and telecommunications reform debates in the 1990s and tax reduction
in 2001.
