"This is the essential guide to the people and institutions that make public policy in Australia."

John Roskam (Exec. Dir, Inst. of Public Affairs)

"The proliferation of think tanks, which are increasingly influencing opinion shapers, requires us to know their vision, the people behind them and how to contact them. This succinct reference does just that with short, sharp entries about most think tanks and specialist research institutions such as CRCs; an invaluable relevant reference."

Bob Fels (fmr Assoc, Aust. Centre Internat. Bus.)

If you are reading this, then you are in some way associated with one of the most complex spheres of public poilicy: the process of exerting influence over policy and forming opinion. How you influence your audiences' opinions, whether co-workers, the financial markets or elected officials, will be the difference between success and failure.

Big Thinkers (think tanks, knowledge brokers, networks & opinion shapers) is the latest publication from Affairs of State.

Within Big Thinkers (think tanks, knowledge brokers, networks & opinion shapers), Affairs of State has made their contribution towards making the Australian thinking space more available to your business. The editorial team of Alistair Urquhart and Scott Samson have provided a well-developed and comprehensive appraisal of contemporary Australian thinking space.
