Evidence Based Policy (ENGLISH)

We are all cowed down with the term “Evidence Based Policy.” Proponents often talk about it with authority as if they have final evidence on that will tell us how the universe works. 

We really need to get deeper into what evidence is? How can we use it? how can we develop it? What does it mean?

We take these issues up with Professor Paul Cairney.

‘Paul Cairney is Professor of Politics and Public Policy, University of Stirling, UK (@Cairneypaul).  His research interests are in comparative public policy. His research spans comparisons of policy theories (Understanding Public Policy, 2012), methods associated with key theories (Handbook of Complexity and Public Policy, 2015), international policy processes (Global Tobacco Control, 2012), and comparisons of UK and devolved policymaking.’
