Evidence, Policy and Wellbeing

Viac o knihe

Examining the influence of evidence on public policy regarding wellbeing, the book integrates insights from political science, policy theory, and the evidence-policy relationship. It aims to clarify how evidence shapes the integration of wellbeing into policy, identify barriers to evidence use, and enhance the multiple streams approach to agenda-setting. While primarily focused on the UK government, its findings have broader implications for wellbeing initiatives globally and contribute to theoretical discussions on agenda-setting and evidence utilization, supported by interviews with policy-makers.
