Maddie,
Nominating the world's top 10 think tanks outside the U.S. is like looking for the world's top 10 baseball teams (without US, Japan and this rough diamond trading entity ... what's the name again?).
One word: ridiculous.
On a related note: Educated Americans (like the FP guys) are just too polite.
(Is there any US act providing citizenship for "extreme US online flattering"? If not, there should be one. IMHO.)
Yes, you're right, but I didn't say so because it's not polite, hahaha!
Of course the list is very specifically "top 10 non-US." I guess the "advantage" is seeing what non-US places are thinking. On the issue of total quality comparison, well...
Nobody's saying these non-US thik tanks aren't good. They're fine. But maybe (dare we say it without sounding like a think-tank imperialist?), major US think tanks are often...OK, I'm going to say it!...better.
