In answer to your question: Should they? I tooted a comment some days ago which replies in the negative.

Why do we need to know who funds these thinktanks when the following is public knowledge:

“The #progressive Australia Institute, the #right-leaning Centre for Independent Studies and the #conservative Institute of Public Affairs argue they cannot reveal their donors without exposing them to attack from political opponents.” That all we need know right there… and the same goes for other thinktanks, political lobbies, foreign agents, embassies, corporate news outlets, and the list goes on…

I think Henry Belot is confusing private enterprise with politicians and political parties where transparency and accountability is a democracy defence mechanism.

Finalmente, terminei a série documental "Institutos Neoliberais", produzido por Bob Fernandes.

Discorre, com detalhes, sobre os Think Tanks estrangeiros que atuam no Brasil. Trata-se de um assunto que já foi muito explorado pela mídia independente, mas é interessante ter essa compilação com um fio narrativo mais encadeado.

O terceiro e último episódio foi o que mais me chamou a atenção. Por demonstrar uma sutileza tanto das empresas quanto do governo estadunidenses. Como sabemos, lá, o lobby é permitido. Todavia, grandes empresas do ramo da "Defesa" financiam Think Tanks que, por sua vez, em audiências no Congresso, se apresentam apenas como "especialistas".

De modo semelhante, quando o setor da Defesa quer apresentar algum estudo "independente", aponta algum realizado por esses mesmos Think Tanks (que não obrigados legalmente a mostrar de onde vem o financiamento, segundo Nick Cleveland Stout).

Aos 22:00 do vídeo, há o exemplo do retorno em potencial que as empresas doadoras têm: poucos milhões investidos ao longo de anos... Em contrapartida, o valor de um único caça chega à casa das dezenas de milhões.

Read Belot’s article in The Guardian here

Some of Australia’s most influential thinktanks refuse to reveal their biggest donors. But should they?

Several raise concerns that disclosing their donors exposes them to political attack but others warn not doing so can prompt legitimate questions about influence

Who is running the government’s ‘growth school’ for civil servants? The answer surpassed my worst fears, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
