There is a significant body of literature assessing the influence of think tanks; however, there has been relatively little research on the online impact of think tanks’ research activity. Differentiating the popularity of a policy think tank from its policy relevance is an important consideration in evaluating the impact of policy institutes on the Web. This study measures the perceived reliability of information as defined by web-based users. To measure the impact of think tanks’ web-based popularity and policy relevance, think
tank participation in five separate policy domains including social policy, equalization, climate change, clean energy, and peacemaking/peace building is studied using hyperlink analysis.

The eurozone crisis has spectacularly increased the European Union’s (EU’s) institutional demand for expert knowledge. While the crisis has challenged the legitimacy of the EU in many ways, it has in contrast amplified the visibility and the role of Brussels-based think tanks as laboratories of ideas that think ahead about eurozone governance and policies. Drawing on the analysis of more than 450 expert reports produced by two leading Brussels-based think tanks, over 300 CVs and biographical notes as well interviews, this article explores when, how and why Brussels-based think tanks expand their networks in times of crisis. While the article leaves aside the question of their ideational impact upon agenda-setting and the policy formulation process leading to the new European economic governance, it shows how think tanks adapt to crises and how they seek to have a voice in thinking about the future of the EU’s economic governance.

Democratic elections facilitate the exchange of ideas in a country and are an important moment for public engagement in political processes. Elections present an opportunity for organisations that want to influence or promote a culture of ideas and innovation, evidence-use, transparency, democracy and citizen participation. This publication seeks to inspire and inform think tanks to act. It is a collection of stories and practical advice from organisations around the world that have influenced their country’s electoral process in some way.

O presente artigo busca apresentar a teoria “anarco”capitalista com base em artigos publicados pelo Instituto Ludwig von Mises Brasil (IMB) e sua(s) interpretação(ões) sobre anarquismo. Para tanto, parte-se dos textos reunidos no link denominado “Seção anarcocapitalismo”, no site do IMB. Grosso modo, os autoproclamados “libertários” defendem um ideal de sociedade no qual todas as relações humanas sejam reguladas pelo “livre mercado”. Pressupondo uma idílica sociedade sem Estado, a teoria “anarco”capitalista consistiria em uma organização social em que as “forças do mercado” se desenvolveriam sem nenhuma amarra. Portanto, procura-se evidenciar que o uso do termo “anarco”, bem como o de “libertário”, não passa de uma falácia; uma vez que o pensamento anarquista é essencialmente anticapitalista. Destarte, o principal expoente do “anarco”capitalismo, Murray Rothbard, não relaciona o uso da palavra “libertário” com a tradição anarquista.
