Much of the literature devoted to impact assessment has focused on
it as a technique or set of techniques, or on the environmental
impact statement as a legal procedural requirement. While there are
notable exceptions, the rich theoretical and empirical
possibilities for research concerning significant innovations in
the way governments operate has not been exhausted. The intention
of this new edited collection is to stimulate research on the
influence that impact assessment has had on policy making. Bartlett
has organized the contributions around the principle that practical
effectiveness in the real world of policy-making is determined by
the way internal logic and institutionalization redefine policy
rationality in a given system. Although impact assessment is
defined broadly, the contributors do not focus on the commonalities
of the techniques employed. Rather, they explore patterns of
institutionalization--the ways that policy is determined through
impact assessment. The volume opens with an extensive overview of
impact assessment as a policy-making instrument. Other sections are
devoted to impact assessment in development planning, future policy
directions, and critical perspectives. A comprehensive bibliography
completes the work. Building upon several earlier works on impact
assessment, this collection combines the insights of pioneering
scholars with directions for future research. It is essential
reading in the fields of administration, sociology, transportation,
business, political science, and urban and policy studies.
