Review
Ray Struyk's Reconstructive Critics provides a treasure trove of insightful information on the roles played by think tanks in opening up the policy process in the new democracies of the former Soviet bloc, as well as a thoughtful series of recommendations about how think tanks can improve their performance. It is bound to be the standard work on the role played by think tanks in the former communist states. -- Kevin Quigley, Vice President for Contemporary Affairs and Corporate Programs, The Asia Society
Reconstructive Critics provides a careful, thoughtful analysis of the emergence and current challenges facing think tanks in Eastern Europe, based on first-hand observation and extensive interviews. Struyk's delineation of the difficulties of establishing independent sources of policy advice in this region make it must reading for students of civil society and transitions to democracy. His policy recommendations to Western donors, East European governments, and think tank managers provide a welcome blueprint for building a more vibrant think tank sector in this region in the years to come. -- R. Kent Weaver, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution
Struyk has written a first-rate, comprehensive review of the difficult process of establishing independent think tanks in the postcommunist world. The book is a must for anyone working in think tanks in this area. -- Michael McFaul, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Stanford University, and Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Condition: As New. : Este libro examina en profundidad las actividades de los think tanks en el antiguo bloque soviético. Basado en un trabajo de campo detallado, que incluye entrevistas con personal de think tanks y altos responsables políticos en cuatro países, el autor evalúa su éxito en la influencia de las políticas y en la creación de una ciudadanía mejor informada sobre cuestiones políticas clave. Los capítulos incluyen un debate general sobre la industria de la investigación política, un perfil detallado de los think tanks en Rusia, Bulgaria, Hungría y Armenia, y un análisis de sus registros políticos en estos países.
