Analytical and scientific support mechanism of the US foreign policy process

Abstract

The U.S. intellectual leadership in many spheres is rarely challenged nowadays. However it is secured not only through the ability to formulate a great amount of new ideas, including fundamental innovations, but perhaps even more due to the effective system for integration of intellectual products into practice. Nevertheless this is hardly a research issue for Russian scholars. The article is an attempt to take a closer look on design and behavior of principal channels and institutions, employed by American scholars and experts for participation in shaping national foreign policy.
