Topics
We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.
- Enterprise and Industry
- Health and Consumer Policy
- Financial Programming and the Budget
- Institutional Reform/Public Services
On the Estat.cz website the following specific topics are listed:
- lean government
- cost efficient administration
- limited public services
Semantic Fields
What we call here a semantic field is the idea to categorize think tanks in a two level system. The first levels are so called 'Virtual Networks' and the second are the semantic fields. Accordingly every semantic field entered here has to be attached to a virtual network. If you would like to follow a special phenomenon among think tanks please contact us and we are going to add a new virtual network. Semantic fields are topics that promote a virtual network. Lets take climate change as an example: 'climate change skeptics' is the virtual network and 'adaption instead of mitigation' would be one possible semantic field.
- Tax Reduction (Austerity Politics): The institute promotes the tax freedom day, tool and movement of downward oriented tax competition, works for a lean and financially constricted state. No direct contributions to the debate on public debt and balancing of budgets.
Notes
This section is used to note presumptions that need further investigation, as well as things that don't fit into other sections.
