A think tank is an organization, institute, group etc. that conducts research and engages in advocacy in virtually any area (social policy, political strategy, economy, science or technology issues, industrial or business policies, military, etc. )

Supporters hail them as "one of the main policy actors in democratic societies ..., assuring a pluralistic, open and accountable process of policy analysis, research, decision-making and evaluation". Opponents consider them little more than public relations fronts generating self-serving research that serves the advocacy goals of their sponsors.
