In the UK - and many other countries - there are organisations that describe themselves as ‘think tanks’. They expressly set out to explore ideas and influence public policy. They usually produce research reports - some better than others - and promote them through the media and in policy circles.
Some are very clear about who funds them and the ideology that underpins their work. Many provide vital independent scrutiny of ideas and expert analysis of public policy. But many are not as open as they could be.
