Project description

This project aims at a philosophical investigation into the nature and value of Evidence-Based Policy (EBP). The objectives are (1) developing a positive characterization of what EBP is, (2) trying to distinguish EBP clearly from alternative ways of policy-making and (3) arriving at a systematic
