Europe and its think tanks: a promise to be fulfilled

Study | 01/10/2004

This survey of think tanks specialised in European issues in the enlarged European Union is a first. It draws a picture of a part of the field of community affairs that remains little known and that is looking for a new model for its operations. It reviews 149 think tanks in the 25 EU member states that contribute to EU policy studies.

Recent appearances

	Clinton, Obama, McCain - Europe's Best Hope for Fighting Climate Change 04/04/2008 With Barack Obama, John McCain or Hillary Clinton becoming President of the United States, there is hope that the USA could adopt bold legislation to fight global warming in 2009. Albeit with differences, all three have backed serious legislative proposals and indicated their desire to engage actively in international negotiations. However, beyond campaign platforms and rhetoric, which of the three contenders offers the best climate change credentials for Europe? What support is the future President likely to receive to implement climate change legislation on par with Europe’s ambitions?
	France's EU policy elite still ponders consulting the voters 09/10/2007 By applying Deliberative Polling® beyond national borders, there is a chance that we can begin to understand what citizens would want for the EU if they could all meet and hear all sides of the argument.
	Citizens need to participate, too 28/06/2007 Car rental companies know that customers will never clean their cars before returning them. For a simple reason – they do not own them. Such a sense of ownership is what is missing in Europe. Without citizens’ input, the European project lacks direction, affects our competitiveness and standing in the world.
	Quack remedies for an imaginary ailment 06/06/2007
	Power to the People 29/05/2007 This study examines the merits for the EU of promoting decentralised, clean or green electricity generation systems owned by communities or individuals that have the potential to generate excess energy to sell back to the distribution network of the electricity grid. It concludes that the contribution could be significant and that the EU has a role to play.
