Abstract
Think tanks is an important witness and symbol of American intellectuals’ response to the “climate of opinion” and ideological transformation during the Cold War. As a pioneer of civil think tanks and their transitions, Heritage Foundation, characterized by quick response, object-oriented research and Mandate for Leadership, symbolized the birth of advocacy think tank. At the same time, Heritage Foundation functioned as a mediator and practitioner of neo-conservatism, which merged diverse opinions into a more feasible plan. Relying on Ronald Reagan’s reform, during the 1970s and 1980s, Heritage Foundation turned the decision-making of American government towards neo-conservatism. The birth, development and practice of Heritage Foundation engaged implicit and explicit influence on the modern policy process, presenting a prism of a “knowledge-power” relationship.
