dc.description.abstractCompared to most of their European counterparts, Germany and the Netherlands often take deviating positions with regards to economic policies. This phenomenon has been explained by the influence of ordoliberalism. The role of scientific bureaus of political parties as mediators of exchange between ordoliberal theory and practice had not yet been documentated. This research fills large parts of this knowledge gap by analysing this role. By means of an extensive archive research, the formative years of ordoliberal policies (1945-1970) have been covered. In Germany, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (CDU) and the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung (FDP) were studied. In Netherlands, these were the Teldersstichting (VVD), Doctor Abraham Kuyperstichting (ARP) and the Centrum voor Staatkundige Vorming (KVP). The detailed descriptions of these diverse institutions and their publications allows for many interesting observations and conclusions. The most important conclusion is that the ideas that the German scientific bureaus expressed, were clearly ordoliberal. In addition, in the Netherlands only significant ordoliberal traces have been found at the Teldersstichting.
