Instead, the known ideological proclivities of many, especially newer think tanks with their aggressive efforts to obtain high profiles, have come to undermine the credibility with which experts and expertise are generally viewed by public officials. This book explains this paradox. The analysis is based on 135 in-depth interviews with officials at think tanks and those in the policy making and funding organizations that draw upon and support their work. The book reports on results from a survey of congressional staff and journalists and detailed case studies of the role of experts in health care and telecommunications reform debates in the 1990s and tax reduction in 2001.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 400gAuthor: Andrew RichGenre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
