This book examines the role of the inspector within the context of
a number of OECD member states and explores the ways in which the
inspectors themselves interpret, implement and influence inspection
practices and policy. Inspection policy can have various unintended
consequences, some of which produce radical discrepancies between
the policy intent and its implementation. A number of these
discrepancies derive from the way in which the policy is
articulated while others derive from the ways in which inspectors
interpret and operationalise this policy. This implementation is
coloured and conditioned by several factors, including the evidence
on which inspectors base their judgements; what counts as evidence
in different policy contexts; what counts as valid knowledge in
inspection processes; the qualities needed by inspectors working in
differing policy contexts and the identities that they adopt in
order to successfully carry out their work. The book provides a
valuable contribution to our understanding of the politics and
practices which colour and shape the legitimacy and operational
execution of inspection policy. The work is unique in its focus on
the inspectors' role within the implementation of the inspection
process- an element often overlooked in the literature. It also
includes two chapters co-written by inspectors, offering unique
insights into their life worlds and identities.
