Features: "The function of think tanks is to derive the best policy choices through comprehensive analysis. British think tanks, in particular, place great emphasis on contemporary issues, playing a significant role in promoting policy debates, guiding public opinion, and optimizing public decision-making. "The potential of German think tanks to make a significant impact on the political and public opinion stage in the future is considerable. The role of consultants in predicting and interpreting social events will become increasingly important. 'Political prophets' and 'storm doctors' will determine the direction and enthusiasm of public opinion and decision-makers. "As the political, economic, and security landscape of the world becomes increasingly complex and dynamic, think tanks are gaining increasing attention from governments across Europe. Strengthening research on the policy ideas of European think tanks, clarifying their important role in the foreign policies of European countries, and particularly understanding the status of European think tank research on China and their policy tendencies towards China, are crucial for us to study the foreign policy situation of European major powers and the EU, especially the direction of their China policy. The author of this book is a leading expert and scholar in the study of European issues, providing encyclopedic interpretations of 30 European think tanks in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and the EU, offering a highly beneficial tool for European studies."
