In the face of fierce global competition and the need to strengthen its international positions, the modern leadership of China has significantly changed its attitude to the role of “think tanks” in the system of public administration. Today, there is a progressive increase in the importance of the predictive and analytical component in the process of making state decisions on strategic directions of Chinese domestic and foreign policy.
Recently, the Information Center of the State Committee for Development and Reform (GKRR) The PRC has published the “Big Data Report on” One Belt, One Road “- 2017”, in which, based on the analysis of a large complex of information materials (publications, citation index, participation in scientific forums and other indicators), the rating of the most influential “think tanks” studying the Chinese initiative “One Belt, One Road”is indicated. These structures are divided into four groups:
The first group is the state scientific and analytical centers:
The second group is regional research institutes:
The third group is non-governmental and public “think tanks”.
The fourth group is “brain” centers at universities of the People’s Republic of China:
The Kazakhstan Center for the Study of China in its practice has interacted and continues to work with most of the presented analytical centers and scientific institutes. In general, it can be noted that China is systematically increasing its intellectual resources in order to conduct a pragmatic, verified and, most importantly, effective policy. Thus, it is clear that today an extensive network of scientific and analytical structures has been formed in the People’s Republic of China with a clear hierarchy of “think tanks” and the division of spheres of influence and areas of work between them.
At the same time, there are also national peculiarities: on the instructions of the leadership of the People’s Republic of China, in 2016, new institutes and centers for the study of the Silk Road or the “One Belt, One Road”initiative began to be created in the country. So, Chinese experts have calculated that over 60 new “think tanks” on this topic have been created in China in just a year. This reflects not only the significance of President Xi’s initiative, but also the scale of the intellectual work being carried out in this country.
