The Politics
of Evidence Based Policymaking identifies how to work
with policymakers to maximize the use of scientific evidence. Policymakers cannot
consider all evidence relevant to policy problems. They use two shortcuts:
'rational' ways to gather enough evidence, and 'irrational' decision-making,
drawing on emotions, beliefs, and habits. Most scientific studies focus on the former.
They identify uncertainty when policymakers have incomplete evidence, and try
to solve it by improving the supply of information. They do not respond to
ambiguity, or the potential for policymakers to understand problems in very
different ways. A good strategy requires advocates to be persuasive: forming
coalitions with like-minded actors, and accompanying evidence with simple stories
to exploit the emotional or ideological biases of policymakers.
