Political Uses of Expert Knowledge

Auteur: Boswell, Christina (University of Edinburgh)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
Why do politicians and civil servants commission research, and what use do they make of it in policymaking? The received wisdom is that research contributes to improving government policy. This book challenges this view, arguing that policymakers are just as likely to value expert knowledge to establish authority in contentious areas of policy.
