“The forces of disruption that have battered our collective faith in expertise and independent analysis are a call to action for think tanks to better navigate this increasingly volatile landscape. This book offers valuable lessons for think tank leaders who hope to reach and inform decision-makers in order to better address the significant challenges impacting lives in all parts of our world.”

At this global inflection point, “The Future of Think Tanks” provides a ground-breaking and thought-provoking analysis of an increasingly influential community and the challenges and opportunities it confronts. Jim McGann and the authors he has assembled provide timely insights into a little-understood but hugely significant world of scholars and actors who help us shape a better world.”
“ Expertise has been the subject of abuse in recent years, with opponents ranging from conspiracy-theorists to populist leaders all seeking to denigrate elite academics and experts as out of touch. Think-tanks have been a particular victim of this toxic discourse. Compiling the views of 64 current and former presidents of think tanks around the world, the book provides a fascinating wealth of information, posing probing questions about the place of think-tanks today and tomorrow.”
