Think-Tanks USA – Access to Diversity

FAS.research, Vienna and San Francisco

2006

Project Description:
The image shows a selection of US think-tanks and their affiliated institutions. The larger scope of the research project is to analyse the creation and diffusion of concepts, ideas and convictions through think-tanks on a global scale. Here we were interested in the different types of affiliated institutions. How diverse is the pool of affiliates with respect to philantropie, university, government, corporations etc.

Legend:
Nodes represent institutions. Think-tanks are highlighted. Each color represents a certain type of institution. (philantropie, university, government, corporations etc.) The pie charts show for instance how many percent of the Brookings Foundation's affiliates account for government, how many for foundations etc. Think-Tank X has a line to Harvard University if a person serves in a crucial function at both institutions. The thicker the line the more people connect Think-Tank X to Harvard.
