Beschreibung
This book introduces think tank science and engineering as an emerging academic discipline, marking the evolution of Chinese think tanks toward greater specialization and scientific rigor. Rather than merely describing existing think tank operations, the work establishes the theoretical foundations and systematic framework for understanding think tanks as a legitimate field of study.
The book explores how think tank research has developed from informal advisory roles into a structured discipline with distinct methodologies, theoretical paradigms, and knowledge systems. It examines the transformation of think tank practices from ad hoc consulting to systematic policy research, analyzing how these institutions have evolved to address complex governance challenges across economic, social, and technological domains.
Central to the work is the development of comprehensive methodological approaches that integrate data analysis, modeling techniques, and technical platforms essential for modern think tank operations. The book also addresses the critical aspects of knowledge dissemination, community building, and professional talent development within the think tank ecosystem.
Designed for government officials, researchers, academics, and enterprise professionals involved in decision consulting and strategic research, this book serves as both a theoretical guide and practical reference. It aims to establish the intellectual groundwork for building robust, scientifically oriented think tanks that can effectively support policy-making and strategic decision-making in contemporary China.
