Knowledge and Power in the United Kingdom during the 1970s and 1980s:Intellectual Practices,Roles,and Limitations of Policy Research Centers
The Center for Policy Research was a significant participant in the intellectual practices of British neo-conservatism and also played a crucial role as a think tank during Margaret Thatcher's tenure.The in-tellectual production and policy realization of the Policy Research Center mainly occurred through two chan-nels:mobilizing public opinion to lay the foundation for Mrs.Thatcher's reforms in terms of votes and pop-ular support;and by producing a large volume of policy recommendations and directly advising the govern-ment to influence specific policy content.The Center for Policy Research adopted distinctly different research focuses before and after Mrs.Thatcher's election victory,yet it never fully achieved the ideal level of poli-cy influence.The limitations of the Policy Research Center's intellectual practices were determined by its relationship with the authorities and the public,reflecting a clear"knowledge-power"character.
