This article analyzes the growing significance of think tanks in the decision-making processes of political institutions amid
globalization. The author classifies academic approaches to think tanks into five main categories and comprehensively examines
their essence, functions, organizational models, and roles within political systems. The article thoroughly discusses the
differences between the classical Western model and hybrid approaches, political-functional and intellectual-scientific
approaches, as well as contextual distinctions. Based on existing expert definitions, the study develops a modern interpretation of
think tanks.
