In The Thinkers, E.J. Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and Center for American Progress displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.
"Increasing, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. Information Wars examines the role of partisan think tanks in creating these alternate realities. Partisan think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and Center for American Progress have become de facto formal party organizations, serving as close advisors and staff for the Republican and Democratic parties. It examines their impact on the policy process, polarization, and democracy. It also traces their development during American history, finding a close link between their activities and the growth of polarization in Congress. The book mixes historical analysis, qualitative case studies, and large-n quantitative analysis to examine the causes and consequences of the growth of partisan think tanks and their impact on American party politics"--
Budgeting is a key aspect of governmental behaviour. Research on budgeting has taken various theoretical and methodological approaches, and these differences have prevented scholars from discussing their common topic. In this collection, we have gathered a group of prominent scholars to explore the intermingling of budgets and politics from an assortment of theoretical and methodological perspectives. It highlights not only the breadth of current research but also the range of what remains underexplored. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.
