2016 Report on Chinese Think Tanks — Influence Rankings and Policy Suggestions

Center f or Think Tank Studies Shanghai  Academy of  Social  Sciences May 2017

The  Center  fo r  Think  Tank  Studies  (CTTS),  founded  in  2009,  is  the  first  academic  institution specializing in think tank research based in China. The Center aims to  examine new trends in today’s academia that affect the development of think tanks,  as well as facilitate  continued growth of think tanks emerging in China and other  developing  states.  CCTS  strives  to  promote  international  cooperation  between  domestic   and   international   think   tanks,   create   new   research   platforms,   and  produce new - type think tanks with distinctly Chinese characteristics.
Since 2011, CTTS has collaborated with Dr. James G. McGann, Senior Lecturer and  Director   of   the   Think   Tanks   and   Civil   Societies   Program   at   the University  of  Pennsylvania .  Members  of  CTTS  are  frequently  invited  to  serve  as  experts  and  participate in the  Global Go to Think Tank Index appraisal undertaken by Professor  McGann. Since 2013, CTTS has developed special evaluation crite ria and methods  for Chinese think tanks referencing the research method specified in the “Think  Tank and Civil Society Program (TTCSP)”, overseen by Professor McGann. On  January  22,  2014,  CTTS  initiated  the  Annual Report on Chinese Think Tanks, and  was   the first   to   publish   rankings   of   Chinese   think   tanks,   which   attracted  widespread attention domestically and abroad.
In order to adapt to a new academic environment and meet requirements for the  construction of “Top China Think Tanks”, with full consideration of  the  practices  and  explorations  of  SASS  think  tank  research  in  recent  years,  CTTS  will  focus  on  cutting - edge,  forward - looking,  and  strategically  significant  issues.  By  organizing  II the “New Think Tank Forum” and compiling the  Special  Report  on  New  Think  T anks and  Dynamics   of   Key   Domestic   and   Foreign   Think   Tanks ,   CTTS   fully  recognizes  the  decision - making influence of SASS as a “Top China Think Tank”.  CTTS  organizes  and  participates  in  various  forms  of  think  tank  exchange,  and  facilitates cooperation and dia logue among domestic and foreign think tanks. CTTS  will also unveil a series of consecutive, original, and influential think tank research  findings.
