New FP Analytics Report: Think tanks’ impact on policy in a rapidly changing world

Navigating Through Turbulence     By FP Analytics, the independent research division of Foreign Policy magazine     The last few years have seen rises in authoritarianism, economic protectionism, poverty, and threats to human rights and civil liberties, trends that were all further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts to combat such trends take many forms, but this report is particularly concerned with the role and impact of think tanks given their capacity to understand, explain, and shape these trends. Such organizations have proliferated globally since the 1990s, but there has been limited research and a lack of consensus regarding how successful they are in counteracting these negative trends. To explore this topic, FP Analytics conducted an in-depth survey and semi-structured interviews with think tank personnel to highlight the experiences and viewpoints of the think tank staff working on the ground to advance democracy, economic openness, human rights, and poverty reduction in their home countries.     READ THE REPORT     Also, listen to the recording of FP's recent Virtual Dialogue featuring experts and practitioners on the role of think tanks in supporting democracy-promotion and economic development across a shifting geopolitical landscape. The program also unveils the findings of FP Analytics' latest research examining the impact of democracy-building, free-market focused think tanks and their effectiveness in advancing locally-driven reform initiatives.                © 2021 Foreign Policy All rights reserved. 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 200 https://foreignpolicy.com/ | Unsubscribe
