BOOK REVIEW: THE FIFTH ESTATE: THINK TANKS, PUBLIC POLICY AND GOVERNANCE

Abstract

The book is all-inclusive research on think tanks’ role in governance and public policy processes, specifically in the US. The author defines Fifth Estate as attributed to research institutes, scholarly networks, political parties and policy analysts. The comprehensive role of think tanks is due to their lasting impact on governance and the administration of global civil society. Their ever-increasing role and involvement in public policy discourse are unlikely to lessen in coming times.
