Western analytical centers as a tool for promoting the ideology of global American leadership
Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of foreign sources characterizing the role, purpose, content, and features of the activities of Western analytical centers in the formation and promotion of the globalist strategy of the West in the context of the efforts of "thought factories" to ensure in the media and public consciousness the quantitative and qualitative superiority of ideological and political narratives of the United States and NATO countries in order to reformat undesirable regimes for the West, referred to as the "soft" reconstruction of the world according to given characteristics. The authors revealed the desire of "thought factories" not only to position themselves as generators of ideas, but also to influence public opinion, play a key role in the development and promotion of global, regional and national policies.
