Virtual Networks A "Virtual Network" is a group of Think Tanks identified by certain semantic and normative (ideological) commonalities (e.g. climate change scepticism). Such a virtual network constitutes a research field that differs from the study of formal networks. Formal networks are real in the sense of officially acknowledged and immediately open to empirical validation. Virtual networks on the other hand display shared ideas. Social network analysis tools can be applied to find out if or to what extent virtual networks are real networks that display linkages (membership in networks, personnel, resources etc.). Unconnected think tanks in turn can be considered special cases in need of explanation independent from network structures (unless we have to assume invisible, hidden or covered ties).

Julius-Raab-Stiftung is a foundation affiliated with the Wirtschaftsbund (business circle/association) of the ÖVP (Austrian Peoples Party). In the last years it focussed on such subjects as tax cuts and reform of the taxation system, the defense of property rights, and of the specific leading role of business people. In 2011 the leading team changed and Harald Mahrer, the new president, stands possibly for a more pronounced 'neoliberal' agenda.
