Think tanks have rarely come under the spotlight and the author offers a probing but balanced overview of a political phenomenon.; This book should prove to be valuable reading for students of political science, public administration and contemporary British history. 606 $aGovernment consultants$zGreat Britain 606 $aResearch institutes$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolicy sciences 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolitical planning$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGovernment consultants 615 0$aResearch institutes 615 0$aPolicy sciences. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aPolitical planning 676 $a320.6094109045 676 $a320.941 700 $aDenham$b Andrew.$0875856 701 $aGarnett$b Mark$f1963-$0762163 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449855603321 996 $aBritish think-tanks and the climate of opinion$92293117 997 $aUNINA
