German Partisan Think Tanks: Taking Political Education as the Core Mission

Abstract: Purpose/significance German partisan think tanks have always enjoyed a high reputation in the world. A thematic study on the mission of German partisan think tanks can provide reference, inspiration and support for the construction of similar think tanks in China. Method/process Based on foreign research materials, especially German materials, this paper explores the mission of German partisan think tanks from multiple perspectives by using literature research, historical research and other methods. Result/conclusion Unlike American think tanks that specialize in policy consultation, German partisan think tanks take political education as its core mission. They are the "missionaries" of the 20th and 21st centuries, who tirelessly spread the political discourse of the West, especially Germany, around the world. The core doctrine they propagate is Western democracy.
