Evidence, Policy and Wellbeing

Více o knize

Focusing on the influence of evidence in public policy, this book explores how it transforms wellbeing from a governmental concern into a catalyst for policy change. It integrates insights from political science and policy theory, aiming to clarify the role of evidence in enhancing wellbeing, identify barriers to its use in policy, and contribute to the multiple streams approach to agenda-setting. While centered on UK government developments, its findings hold broader implications for global wellbeing initiatives and theoretical discussions on evidence utilization. Interviews with policy-makers enrich the analysis.
