The explanation appears to lie in political narratives: in certain authoritarian contexts, evidence is invoked as a source of legitimacy, which in turn encourages both public and private funding.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Impact of p<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>olarisation<\/strong>: Across all continents, political and media polarisation has complicated the work of think tanks, especially in Latin America, where its effects are perceived as particularly negative. However, in contexts where the public highly values evidence, polarisation has a lesser impact on operational capacity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Differentiated political impact<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: think tanks report higher levels of influence in electoral democracies or electoral autocracies\u2014where there is some degree of institutional continuity\u2014than in liberal democracies or closed regimes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thematic misalignments<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: in Latin America, citizens express greater concern about crime and insecurity, whilst think tanks remain focused on economics and traditional social policy. This gap reflects a misalignment with public demand.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Financial fragility<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: in low- and middle-income regions, think tanks depend almost exclusively on project-based funding, with little core or programme funding. Latin America is in an intermediate position, albeit with significant national differences (Brazil, Chile and Mexico are able to secure more domestic resources).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Working conditions and inequalities<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: entry-level salaries are broadly similar worldwide, whilst pay for senior researchers and directors varies significantly depending on the size of the organisation and the context. This creates difficulties in retaining talent in countries where international agencies pay more than think tanks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">New capacities in demand<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: alongside political communication (which is increasingly sophisticated compared to traditional communication), there is a growing need to strengthen financial and project management, as well as to explore the use of artificial intelligence.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Diversity, equity and inclusion<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: many think tanks adopt formal gender policies, but implementation is weak and little attention is paid to other dimensions of inequality (geographical, socio-economic, and disability).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With this overview, the global report provides a starting point for reflecting on how these trends manifest in specific national contexts. In Peru, the discussion highlighted both parallels and distinctive features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Institutional diversity and differentiated trajectories<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Peruvian think tank ecosystem is marked by its heterogeneity. University-based centres with academic agendas coexist with long-established institutions that have public influence, organisations focused on communicating evidence, social research consultancies, state units, and actors involved in international cooperation. This plurality broadens the field of action but also fragments the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each type of institution faces different strategies for funding and influence. For instance:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Universities rely on their academic base, though they supplement it with external projects.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Long-established think tanks seek to balance rigorous production with public presence (surveys, publications).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Consultancies adopt market logics, selling applied research services.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">State units attempt to generate evidence \u201cfrom within\u201d, with small in-house teams.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This diversity lends resilience to the ecosystem, but also accentuates inequality between those with stable backing and those dependent on occasional projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Funding: Between dependency and diversification<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Funding was at the heart of the discussion. Cuts from USAID were perceived as a heavy blow, particularly in the areas of governance, gender and human rights. Concrete examples showed how ongoing projects were cancelled, obliging staff reductions and strategic rethinking. Yet several actors stressed the importance of not over-relying on such volatile opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Different responses emerged:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Institutional funds<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Redes emphasised the value of its endowment, which guarantees a measure of autonomy and stability for fixed costs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Diversification of sources<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Equilibrium stressed that not being entirely dependent on international cooperation had shielded them from the harshest impacts.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Capacity-building funds<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: both CAPPES and IEP received non-thematic funding (from the Ford Foundation and other international donors) that strengthens institutional capacity rather than financing individual projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A distinctive feature of the Peruvian case is the growing role of <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">domestic private funding<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The recent experience of the <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instituto Bicentenario<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> was illustrative: it supported media and decentralised projects (for example, Redes\u2019 daily radio programme with regional spokespeople). In Peru, private funders appear particularly interested in evidence with immediate impact in the regions, reflecting both civic concerns and electoral calculations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The private sector is also emerging as a revenue source via consultancy, particularly as opportunities with the state diminish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Polarisation, legitimacy and self-censorship<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Political and media polarisation affects each organisation differently.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The IEP, for example, has found a legitimate, less vulnerable space in public opinion surveys, consolidating itself as a trusted source of data. This has allowed it to remain relevant and central in public debate, even as demand for technical opinion has waned.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In other cases, polarisation has led organisations to reject funding that might compromise academic impartiality, even if that meant losing opportunities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some actors admitted to tactical self-censorship: carefully choosing which battles to fight. This translated into avoiding statements on minor disputes, whilst actively engaging in key regulatory debates (for instance, on scholarships or university reform). This strategy aims to protect neutrality whilst maintaining the ability to exert influence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Case: Strategic language in polarised contexts<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In Peru, public debate on education and gender has become highly polarised. The explicit use of certain terms can automatically place an organisation in a political camp, shaping its ability to influence, secure funding, and be heard.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Education reform<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: Following the first university reform, opponents established the \u201canti-reform\u201d narrative, creating a binary: \u201cpro-reform\u201d or \u201canti-reform\u201d. If a centre used the word \u201creform\u201d, it was immediately aligned with one side. The strategy was to avoid the term and instead explain the concrete effects of each measure (for example, student access, scholarship quality), shifting the conversation from the ideological to the technical.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gender<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: A similar situation arises with the word \u201cgender\u201d. Publishing under that label triggers hostility on social media, particularly from the regions. Instead, organisations insert related data (for example, women work X more hours per week than men) into broader content, without presenting it explicitly as a \u201cgender approach\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These cases demonstrate the constant tension think tanks face between:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maintaining <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">conceptual precision<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (using internationally recognised terms such as reform, gender, equity).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sustaining <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">capacity to influence<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (adapting language to political and media contexts to avoid immediate rejection).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The solution is not intellectual self-censorship, but rather an adaptive communication strategy: translating technical concepts into broader narratives, avoiding labels that trigger polarisation whilst preserving substantive content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Managing language has thus become a key political tool for think tanks in Peru. It is not a secondary matter of style, but a strategy of survival and relevance in a context where words, more than ideas, define public reception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=index-2330.html><span data-contrast=\"none\">More strategies and tactics for think tanks in increasingly authoritarian and polarising contexts<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Impact and connection with public priorities<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A consensus among participants was that the impact of Peruvian think tanks remains limited. Although the global survey shows high levels of self-perceived influence, in Peru, there is a clear disconnect between research agendas and public concerns. While centres continue to prioritise economics and social policy, citizens are demanding urgent responses on security and crime.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This misalignment poses two challenges:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thematic alignment<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: how to reorient agendas to respond to social demand without losing rigour and autonomy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Funding availability<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: resources for studying security are scarce, unlike those for economics or gender.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The debate showed that think tanks are aware of the issue and are working to address it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The State: Collaboration and precariousness<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Contributions from state units revealed another facet: the creation of small <\/span><a href=index-2331.html><span data-contrast=\"none\">internal research laboratories.<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> These teams have innovated with methodologies to translate evidence into policy commitments (for example, recommendation matrices applied to specific programmes), and have engaged university students to produce cost-effective research.
