The prominence of such calls for evidence might lead to speculation that
we are living in the era of the ‘scientifically guided society’ (Lindblom,
1990). However, such a view would be misleading. The chapters in the
first half of this book provide many alternative examples of policy initiatives
that seem to either fly in the face of the best available research evidence
on effectiveness or, at the very best, are based on flimsy evidence. For
example, in education the evidence in support of the introduction of the
literacy hour or the homework policy is disputed (see Major, 2000).
Similarly, in healthcare the evidence to support the case for the introduction
of the Patient’s Charter and NHS Direct seems to be lacking. Even when

policy decisions relate to areas that are highly technical and scientific,
there is little evidence that technical arguments (based on science and
research evidence) necessarily have much of a direct impact on the
decisions made (Nelkin, 1992). Unsurprisingly, then, society appears to
be guided more by politics than by science, and politics is more about the
art of the possible or generally acceptable than what is rational or might
work best (Stoker, 1999).
However, the chapters in the first half of the book also demonstrate
that there is an ongoing interaction between evidence and public policy,
although the nature of this relationship varies greatly with the policy
area. It is in the light of this diversity in the use of research evidence that
this chapter aims to provide an overview of the possible relationship(s)
between evidence and public policy. In doing so, it provides a number of
frameworks within which to situate the experiences of evidence-based
policy and practice outlined in each of the policy areas covered in Part
One of the book.
Given the complexity and ambiguity of the policy-making process, an
early exploration of some of the terms used in this chapter is warranted.
Some of the many definitions found in the policy studies literature are
highlighted Box 2.1. The phrase public policy refers to those public issues
defined as problems and the courses of action (or inaction) that arise to
address these problems. This book is concerned with a subset of these
courses of action by focusing on ‘what works’ in improving the effectiveness
of public services.

Evidence and the policy process
The distinction between policy and practice, implied by the title of this
book, is not a rigid one. Practitioners do not merely implement policy
decisions that have been decided elsewhere. Policy is influenced from
the bottom up (Lipsky, 1976, 1979) as well as practice being influenced
from the top down. There are many different types of policy decisions
(Carley, 1980) – from specific issues (decision making about day-to-day
activities) to strategic issues (large-scale decisions between broad policy
choices). Many decisions lie somewhere in between.
The phrase policy making does not usually relate to a clearly defined
event or to an explicit set of decisions. Policy tends to emerge and
accrete rather than being the outcome of conscious deliberation (Weiss,
1980). Policy making is a complex process without a definite beginning
or end – “somehow a complex set of forces together produces effects
called ‘policies’” (Lindblom, 1980, p 5). The parties to this complex process,
the so-called policy makers, are not confined to government ministers,
senior civil servants and co-opted policy advisors. Politicians and officials
at local government level and other activists (such as professional
associations, pressure groups, journalists and other commentators) also
influence the form that policies take. Practitioners (professional or
otherwise), who operationalise policies, have their own distinctive role in
shaping policies as they are experienced by clients or service users.
The introduction to this book comments on the diversity of what
counts as evidence of policy and service effectiveness. This is a theme
that will be returned to time and again throughout the book. Within
policy studies, the phrase policy analysis is sometimes used to refer to the
way in which evidence is generated and integrated into the policy making
process. This represents analysis for the policy process, which needs to be
distinguished from analysis of the policy process:
• Analysis for the policy process encompasses the use of analytical techniques
and research to inform the various stages of the policy process.
• Analysis of the policy process considers how policy problems are defined,
agendas set, policy formulated, decisions made and policy is subsequently
implemented and evaluated. (Parsons, 1995, p xvi)

Evidence and the policy process
Much has been written about the way in which the gap left by the
crumbling of the social democratic consensus was filled by a ‘new right
ideology’ with the election of the Thatcher government in 1979 (for
example, Flynn, 1993). Policy making throughout the 1980s and in part
in the early 1990s was driven by this ideology. However, the concurrent
development of a management agenda in the public sector led to a greater
focus on programme evaluation, an explosion in performance indicator
systems and increased powers for audit and inspection regimes (Pollitt,
1990; Hood, 1991). These in turn provided systematic information on
the effects of policy and practice interventions that was sometimes fed

into the policy-making process. For example, when the Audit Commission
took over audit responsibilities for NHS trusts (in the early 1990s), it
conducted value-for-money studies on the cost-effectiveness of day-case
surgery. The findings of these studies subsequently contributed to the
development of a policy agenda that promoted the benefits of day-case
surgery.
The recent political history of the UK might signal the re-emergence
of a more evidence-informed policy process in the social engineering
mould. The election of a Labour government in the UK in May 1997,
with slogans such as ‘what counts is what works’, has reignited interest in
the role of research evidence in the policy process. During 1998 and
1999 there were several initiatives launched by government departments
and allied bodies to improve both the evidence-base on intervention
effectiveness and its use in policy formation and service delivery practice.
Many of these initiatives are linked to the Comprehensive Spending
Review, conducted by the Labour government during 1998, which
demonstrated the many gaps in existing knowledge about ‘what works’.
Some of the undertakings affecting different policy areas are described in
the chapters in the first half of this book. This chapter provides a brief
overview of recent government pronouncements on ‘professional policy
making’ as part of the Modernising government agenda.
The Modernising government White Paper (Cm 4310, 1999) promises
changes to policy making to ensure that policies are strategic, outcome
focused, joined-up (if necessary), inclusive, flexible, innovative and robust.
One of the changes identified as important was making sure that in
future policies were evidence-based. Two subsequent publications have
sought to identify how such a goal could be achieved. Adding it up
(Cabinet Office, 2000) calls for a fundamental change in culture to place
good analysis at the heart of policy making. Professional policy making
(Cabinet Office, 1999) examines what modernised policy making should
look like (see Box 2.3) and how it might be achieved.
A broad definition of evidence is found within these recent government
documents (Box 2.4), but a central role for research evidence is nonetheless
advocated. There is recognition that at present little of the research
commissioned by government departments or other academic research
appears to be used by policy makers. As part of a series of initiatives to
address this, the new Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC,
1999) Centre for Evidence-based Policy is seen as important in improving
the accessibility of research evidence. However, just making research
more accessible is unlikely to be enough to ensure evidence-based policy

... the political world has become a place where ideological certainties
have been undermined, the world’s problems seem more complex and
solutions more uncertain. In this context evidence could be a bigger
player than in the previous era of conviction-driven, ideological politics.
(Stoker, 1999, p 1)
The rhetoric of the Labour government stresses the need for collaboration
(to identify what matters) as well as evidence (to discover what works).
This has presented enormous challenges for policy makers, practitioners
and researchers. Central government ministers have offered to work
with local agencies to develop and test out new models of service delivery
(Martin and Sanderson, 1999). As part of this initiative they have launched
a series of pilot projects, policy review groups and public consultations in
areas such as crime prevention, employment, education and social welfare.
Managing this piloting and review process, and making sense of the
information it provides, is a complex process, made more difficult by the
demands of a fast-moving policy process (see Box 2.5 for one example;
others are provided in Chapter Seven). Researchers are having to combine
their traditional role of providing impact analysis with a new role as
facilitators and process consultants.

The reflexive and collaborative approach to policy making, which the Best Value
pilot programme is intended to exemplify, places new demands on local and
central government as well as on evaluators. The demand is for a move away
from a model of central direction, coupled with local compliance, to a situation
where local and central government work in partnership to develop new models
of local service delivery.

Evidence and the policy process
Concerns have been raised about the possible effect of the evidence-
based policy agenda on ‘objective’ research. For example, Janet Lewis,
Research Director at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, has commented
that “evidence led may mean what we want for our own political purposes”
(Walker, 2000). There are still clear indications that unpalatable evidence
is not welcomed:

Evaluation Consultation
There have been many criticisms of the idealism of the rational model.
From within the rationalist tradition Simon (1957) has been influential
in setting out the limits of rationality. For Simon, organisational decision
making is characterised by satisficing rather than maximising behaviour.
This ‘bounded rationality’ does not involve the examination of all the
alternative courses of action. Nevertheless, he argues that the task is to
design the organisational environment so that “the individual will approach
as close as practicable to rationality (judged in terms of the organisation’s
goals) in his [sic] decisions” (1957, p 241). He considers that some
arrangements are better than others for achieving a more rational decision-
making process. These include:

• the introduction of market mechanisms to provide a way to restrict the

• the use of adversarial proceedings as a means of increasing the
consideration of relevant information and arguments;
• greater use of technical tools to improve decision analysis;
• improving the pool of knowledge about the effectiveness of policy
alternatives as a precursor to a more rational decision-making process.

Source:Weiss (1979)
The debate about the role for policy-related research is often framed
(following Janowitz, 1972) in terms of engineering versus enlightenment.
While support for the enlightenment model of research use has grown,
there have been criticisms. For example, Blume (1979) thinks the
enlightenment model is too pessimistic about what can be achieved in
the shorter term. Others argue that although the social engineering
model may be discredited, this relates to Utopian versions of social
engineering rather than a more incrementalist (‘piecemeal’) version (Finch,
1986). The term enlightenment may, in itself, be misleading. Discussion
of research utilisation usually assumes that the use of research necessarily
improves policy making and that an increase in its use is always desirable
(Finch, 1986). Yet when research diffuses to the policy sphere through
indirect and unguided channels, it dispenses invalid as well as valid
generalisations that can result in ‘endarkenment’ (Weiss, 1980).
The direct use of research findings appears to be limited, both in Britain
and elsewhere (Finch, 1986;Weiss, 1998; and Chapters Four to Ten of this
book). Researchers have sought to explain this lack of use. For example,
there are said to be a number of limitations on the use of analytical work

The character of social research and its effects on the public agenda and
social policy depend upon the structure of the political economy in
which it is financed and used; hence, US social scientists have less
influence on policy than their counterparts in several other rich
democracies where there are tighter relations between knowledge and
power. (Wilensky, 1997, p 1242)
The apparent lack of influence of social scientists in the USA may seem
surprising given the USA’s strong reputation for policy analysis and

A useful framework for analysing the context for policy making and
research utilisation is provided by the concepts of policy networks and
policy communities. The concept of a policy network focuses on the
pattern of formal and informal relationships that shape policy agendas
and decision making. For example, it is suggested that the policy-making
networks in Britain are characterised by a fragmented collection of sub-
systems: a “series of vertical compartments or segments, each segment
inhabited by a different set of organisational groups” (Richardson and
Jordan, 1979, p 174). A close working relationship between the
government, the research community and industry, identified as ‘iron
triangles’ (Jordan, 1981), applies in the UK to a few areas, such as defence.
The types of network can be distinguished according to their degree
of integration (Rhodes, 1988). At the one end of a continuum are policy
communities, which have stable and restricted memberships. At the other
end are issue networks that represent a much looser set of interests and
are less stable and non-exclusive. Networks are found to vary considerably
across policy sectors and between states. One possible explanation for
this variability is that:

Evidence and the policy process
The rise of policy analysis (analysis for policy) and the resulting impact of
a new technocracy on decision making has led to fears that this poses a
threat to liberal democratic policy making (Sartori, 1962; Bell, 1976; for
a review see Fischer, 1991). However, fears that experts would come to
dominate the decision-making process, and hence threaten democracy,
have not materialised (Jenkins-Smith, 1990).
The textbook approach to policy analysis has been described as
promoting the idea of a ‘scientifically guided society’, which can be
contrasted with an alternative model of the ‘self-guiding society’
33

What works?
(Lindblom, 1990). In the latter model, social science and research evidence
provide enlightenment rather than prescribe a particular form of social
engineering. Purveyors of research evidence are only one among a variety
of voices in the policy-making process. Research evidence has a limited
framing and organising role; it facilitates decisions but does not determine
them (Stoker, 1999, p 3). There are a number of reasons why this may be
more appropriate than an over-reliance on technical/rational problem
solving:
• all knowledge is inconclusive;
• social science is an aid, not an alternative, to ordinary inquiry;
• some problems are intractable to social science;
• learning needs to take place among ordinary citizens;
• democracy and participation are vital for good problem solving;
• the self-guiding society must leave room for problem solving, rather
than deliberately designing organisations and assigning problems to
solvers;
• the self-guiding society has limited faith in reason and is not motivated
by general laws or holistic theories. (Abstracted from Parsons, 1995, p
439)
The need for experts to be ‘on tap but not on top’ is a theme also addressed
in the vision of an active society (Etzioni, 1968, 1993). In such a society,
social science can serve an engineering function, and so improve society,
but this requires knowledge and power to be distributed widely among
members of the community. An active society involves the public in
analysis: intellectuals, experts and politicians should interact with the public
in a form of ‘collective reality testing’ (Etzioni, 1968, pp 155-70). Thus
the active society uses knowledge and social science to become a self-
critical society – active in its use of knowledge (Etzioni, 1968, p 190).
The paradox is that while policy analysis clearly contributes to public
knowledge and understanding, it can also inhibit change:
... its tendency to inhibit change on larger issues may reduce the ease
with which popular expression can work its way through the policy
process to a new policy. (Jenkins-Smith, 1990, p 218)

Evidence and the policy process
Concluding remarks
The idea of evidence-based policy and practice fits most naturally with
rational models of the policy-making process. However, rational models
have been subjected to sustained criticism throughout the latter half of
the 20th century. A major debate exists in the policy studies literature
about the scope and limitations of reason, analysis and intelligence in
policy making (Stoker, 1999). It appears that the most that can be expected
is some form of bounded rationality. But even then we need to consider
the political question of ‘rational for whom?’
A pluralist view of the nature of interests and power in society opens
up the possibility of an alternative incremental model of the policy process;
one where research evidence enters the arena through the process of
advocacy. Research evidence is thus a political weapon but ‘when research
is available to all participants in the policy process, research as political
ammunition can be a worthy model of utilisation” (Weiss, 1979). A
problem arises when certain groups in society do not have access to
research evidence and, even if they did, their ability to use this evidence
is restricted due to their exclusion from the networks that shape policy
decisions.
Recent developments in the provision of evidence over the Internet
may encourage more open debates which are not confined to those
operating in traditional expert domains. Similarly, the establishment of
intermediary bodies (such as the National Institute for Clinical Excellence)
to digest existing evidence may facilitate the opening up of evidence-
based policy debates.
Developing the sort of active or self-guiding societies envisaged by
Etzioni and Lindblom may offer possibilities for the future. This is unlikely
to be an easy task. It is hard enough to encourage research to impact on
policy in single-issue domains. Many major issues are multisectoral, such
as social exclusion, and the problems of research utilisation here are more
difficult still. Given the differing nature of policy networks and
communities across policy areas, certain sectors may offer more fertile
environments than others within which to nurture such a vision.
Questions about how to achieve a more evidence-based policy process
are not just practical or technical in nature – ethical and normative issues
underlie the debate (Stoker, 1999). The role for academics is not just in
providing evidence about ‘what works’:

What works?
One scenario for the future is that initiatives that encourage consultation
through policy action teams, will widen the membership of policy
communities. The involvement of wider interests in these teams is likely
to set a different agenda and lead to a more practice-based view of policy
options. The use of research evidence under such a scenario is likely to
be diffuse and researchers will be required to answer questions not only
on what works, but also on how and why it works.
Another, more pessimistic, scenario is that social scientists and other
researchers will continue to bemoan the fact that politicians and other
policy makers continue to pay insufficient attention to their research
findings. In this scenario, evidence-based policy is likely to continue to
be the exception rather than the rule; a situation sustained by the many
‘enemies’ of a more evidence-based approach (see Box 2.7).
