Think Tanks
Think Tanks
The term “think tanks” is a vague phrase used to describe a wide range of non-profit research organizations (centers, institutions, foundations) which engage in public policy analysis and research, and often promote solutions and recommendation for specific issue. Some are nonpartisan, researching policy while others provide intellectual support to politicians or parties.
There are hundreds of such think tanks in the United States and around the world. The Walden Library has a subscription to PolicyFile database which offers access to U.S. foreign and domestic policy papers and gray literature. PolicyFile is updated weekly with abstracts and links to the latest reports, papers, and documents from think tanks, research institutes, and agencies. Visit our Research Databases page and scroll down to find the link for PolicyFile.
