Abstract :
[en] The current literature regarding expertise has relatively left aside the proactive role of experts in crafting their recommendations and developing useful practices in order to influence the decision-making process. This paper intends to fill in this gap by analysing the expertise that shaped NATO’s 2016 decision to launch four battalions in the Baltics in order to deter a newly assertive Russia. Doing so, this paper argues that relevant expertise for policy relies on two elements: a common discourse between think tanks and decision-makers and a set of ‘good’ practices on the side of the think tanks. Research question: What are the practices and discourses that allow for policy institutes to be considered as provider of credible knowledge? The first part of this paper relies on interviews and focuses on the different practices mobilised by think tanks in order to have their expertise considered relevant. The second part of this paper provides a discourse analysis of the reports published by think tanks prior to the Warsaw Summit (2016). The discourse analysis will be both inductive, with a special focus on recommendations provided by think tanks and deductive following concepts of critical geopolitics.
