Evidence-based Policymaking: Insights From Policy-minded Researchers And Research-minded Policymakers - Karen Bogenschneider And Thomas J. Corbett

"In this volume, Bogenschneider and Corbett expertly address the multitude of pitfalls by using their own considerable breadth of experience in bridging the gap between research and policy to suggest ways to overcome barriers to collaboration. The most important chapter in the book, 'Generating Evidence on Disseminating Evidence to Policymakers,' deserves to be required reading in applied-research graduate programs because it articulates the cultural differences between knowledge producers and policy makers. This book provides a valuable collection of tools with which to speed up the collaborative process while honestly addressing the many messy and complicated elements involved." - Marlene M. Eisenberg and Michael B. Blank, in PsycCRITIQUES

"Crossing the chasm between research and policymaking requires navigating partisan debates fueled by ideological purity amidst unseen imperatives. But rational governance is better governance. Finally, a book shows us how to get there from here." - Gail C. Christopher, D.N., Vice President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, USA

"Bogenschneider and Corbett brilliantly fill a big gap in our understanding of evidence. This volume would make a fine addition to any and every serious master’s or upper-level undergraduate policy course where the role of evidence in the policy process is discussed." - Timothy M. Smeeding, Professor, and Director, Institute for Research on Poverty, UW-Madison, USA
