Think Tank

‘SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT”

A think tank, or policy institute, is a research institute that performs research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy,

political strategy,

economics,

military,

technology, and

culture.

Most think tanks are non-governmental organizations, but some are semi-autonomous agencies within government or are associated with particular political parties, businesses or the military.^[1]

Think-tanks are often funded by individual donations, with many also accepting government grants.^[2]
