Think-tanks are prominent in policy debates in countries throughout the world and they receive considerable media attention. In Britain they are held responsible for many of the more controversial policies of the Thatcher years and they have been no less active under Tony Blair. Yet their precise influence is difficult to measure and there is much controversy about whether they are an asset or a danger in a democratic society.
