Download on Open Archives halshsThe number of think tanks in environmental and energy policies has rapidly grown since the 1990s in France. The study analyzes the ways think tanks legitimate themselves and how they qualify their expertise in order to explore the field of scientific policy advice in environmental and energy policies. Based on the analysis of 59 mission statements, the study shows that six of Boltanski and Théve-not's orders of worth are used to gain legitimacy and to characterize the expertise of the think tanks. The inspired and the ecological order of worth take up the greatest share in the mission statements.The authorThomas Laux works as a post-doctoral research fellow in sociology the the University of Bamberg at the Chair of Sociology, especially Sociological Theory.
