Think Tanks

Thank tanks "exist to mobilize expertise and ideas to influence the policy-making process. The raison d’être for most think tanks is to serve as important catalysts for ideas and action" (John de Boer, What Are Think Tanks Good For?) Think tanks publish articles, reports, and sometimes draft legislation on particular issues or policies.
