Policy advice agency

The term policy advice agency is understood to mean an agency or an office that provides policy advice . Think tanks and foundations are not called political advisory agencies. The term is rarely used.

In his master's thesis in 2005, Schuster distinguished him from scientific policy advice on the basis of four criteria:

• Subject of consultation,
• Theory / practice,
• Consultation time,
• Order placement.

The term "agency" has been popular in renaming public institutions since around 2005: under the influence of English ( agency "authority") it is used to replace terms such as "office", "establishment" or "authority". Examples:

• the Federal Employment Agency was renamed the Federal Employment Agency ,
• the former regulatory authority for telecommunications and post has been called the Federal Network Agency since 2005 .

The term "political advice agency " is therefore misleading - especially in the context of politics and authorities.
