Howard Wiarda is the unquestioned expert on the think tank community in the United States. In this study of the Philadelphia-based Foreign Policy Research Institute, Wiarda adds to his past work on the structure, the personalities and the institutional culture of these influential centers of new ideas and new directions that shape the foreign policy process in the United States. With his usual mix of revealing stories and insider analysis, Wiarda provides readers with an unvarnished picture of how think tanks contribute to the making of foreign policy.
