Summary:

This book explores the concept and evolution of think tanks as influential entities in societal consultation and policy-making. Edited by Thomas Brandstetter, Claus Pias, and Sebastian Vehlken, it examines the epistemological foundations of think tanks, their historical development post-World War II, and their role in shaping political and economic ideologies. It delves into the operational mechanisms of think tanks, their knowledge generation processes, and their societal impact beyond military contexts. The book also addresses the broader phenomenon of a 'society of consultation,' discussing the roles and methodologies of consultants in various domains. Intended for scholars, policymakers, and individuals interested in organizational studies and political advisory systems, it provides a critical analysis of the think tank tradition and its implications for contemporary governance and strategic decision-making.
