| Summary/Abstract |
Think tanks have, over time, been able to gain considerable success in influencing the security policy process in the United States. Success can be understood as the ability to influence the policy process at some stage and in some manner—anywhere from identifying a “problem” or opportunity to implementing policy. The role of U.S. think tanks, in theory and practice, and whether think tanks had a significant influence in the U.S. national security domain, was previously discussed in these pages.1 The outcome was a clear “yes,” and the five highest ranking think tanks were highlighted.
