Enhancing the use of impact assessment tools in policy making: bridging the gap between science and the policy making community

Impact Assessment: Expectations and Empirical findings IA Requirements: Consideration of Economic, Environmental and Social aspects Quantification of Impacts Use of Cost Benefit Analysis Value-free, neutral fact finding But: - 22 Case studies in EC (8), Poland (2), UK (5), Denmark (3) and Netherlands (4) 4 out of 22 consider economic, social and environmental aspects substantially (all EC) In all cases economic impacts have been considered at least formally, social impacts in 13 cases, environmental impacts in 11 cases Substantial consideration: economic impacts 17, social 7, environmental 8 Overall: Assessment of economic impacts and consultation of respective stakeholder is a well established practice, not the case for social and environmental aspects Titel, Datum

Why is there a gap? IA and the Policy Process: Positivist technical-rational view: Speaking (a single) truth to a (single) power But: Political System Evidence based policy making in tension with existing institutions Policy Regime: Plurality of Evidence, Multiple actors and interests Ambiguity and non-linearity of the political process Pre-determination and analytical closure Results: Symbolic or legitimizing use of knowledge Use of knowledge to frame the discourse: Translation and re-combination of knowledge Titel, Datum

Improving the Practice Supply side: ‚Mode 2‘, post-normal science: Diversity, Transdisciplinarity, Responsibility and Quality Standards Sustainability Science: problem-orientation, interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity Division of Work, Specialisation and Integration Tools and data Analysis of the context Demand side: Adaptation to the institutional context and integration in the policy process inter-departmental co-operation co-ordination across policy levels Participation Quality Assurance Titel, Datum
