  摘要：Political advisers are an established third element in a number of Westminster-styled jurisdictions, as they are in New Zealand's institution of executive government.

We locate these findings in the context of a growing body of international and comparative research on the role and accountabilities of non civil- or public-service advisers within p...

• Recycling bins, garbage cans or think tanks? Three myths regarding policy analysis institutes AI翻译

  摘要：The phrase 'think tank' has become ubiquitous - overworked and underspecified - in the political lexicon.

This does not mean that there is an agreed definition of think tank or consensual understanding of their roles and functions. Nevertheless, the majority of organizations with this label undertake policy research of some kind. The idea of think tanks as a re...
