When does research and evidence influence policymakers, and how do a country’s political and economic institutions shape its interaction with its research community? What happens to evidence-based policy when politics becomes more pluralist and fractured, and the state starts to change?
In this lecture, Professor Nick Pearce, then Director of the Institute for Public Policy Research, explores the dynamics of how research and evidence inform policy as government and politics in Britain change.
This lecture took place on 25 June 2015.
