THINK TANK

A think tank is an organization, institute, corporation, or group that conducts research and engages in advocacy in areas such as social policy, political strategy, economy, science or technology issues, industrial or business policies, or military advice.

Many think tanks are non-profit organizations, which some countries such as the United States and Canada provide with tax exempt status. While others are funded by governments, interest groups, or businesses; some think tanks also derive income from consulting or research work related to their mandate.

This topic covers the latest news on think tanks and the research and policy that stems from their work.
