Contributors to this highly original book address the many
questions raised by researchers and policymakers about the complex
and often uneasy relationship between evidence and policy from an
international and interdisciplinary perspective. They explore both
the institutions acting as evidence brokers and the different
methods used to collect, assess and use evidence in a variety of
national and international settings, by drawing on their experience
of working in international contexts and in different disciplinary
and policy environments, and in some cases analysing their own
involvement in the evidence-based policy process. The policy areas
covered range from national and state level economic and social
policies more generally to specific areas of intervention, such as
EU bio-fuels targets, the Active Ageing Index, mental health and
media, the construction of second-language learning policies,
microfinance and alcohol policy. The authors highlight the
strengths and weaknesses, the use and abuse, or successes and
failures, of different institutional and methodological approaches
to evidence-based policy. They consider what elements of the
lessons learned might be transferable across national and cultural
boundaries, and if so under what conditions. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social
Science.
