Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A think tank is a nongovernmental organization that conducts research and analysis on a variety of public policy issues and seeks to influence policy through education and advocacy. Institutes may also conduct research and education, but think tanks typically have a more specific policy focus. Influence organizations and propaganda machines are not standard terms in the field of public policy. Agenda-setters can be any actor that shapes the issues on the public agenda, including think tanks and other organizations.
