Think Tanks, Foreign Policy, and National, Regional, and Global Politics

Abstract

Networks—both internal and global—are essential for allowing emerging power think tanks, which will inevitably be underfunded and less equipped than their established rich-world counterparts, to contribute research, create an impact, and access global resources and ideas. At the same time, creating representative and functional networks involves overcoming several significant challenges both structurally and in terms of the identities of constituent think tanks.
