Evidence-Based Policymaking (eBook, ePUB)

Insights from Policy-Minded Researchers and Research-Minded Policymakers

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines ways to enhance evidence-based policymaking, striking a balance between theory and practice. The attention to theory builds a greater understanding of why miscommunication and mistrust occur. Until we better appreciate the forces that divide researchers and policymakers, we cannot effectively construct strategies for bringing them together.
