Evidence, Argument, and Persuasion in the Policy Process

by Giandomenico Majone

Challenges the common assumption that policy analysts engage in a purely objective technical assessment of policy alternatives. This book argues that what analysts really do is produce policy arguments that are based on value judgements and are used by policymakers in the course of public debate.
