Dear List members,
I would welcome an article on this theme should anyone care to
write one. The new SPA journal, Social Policy and Society to be
published by Cambridge University Press from January 2002 is
seeking articles which adress such topical and contemporary issues.

> To:
> I'd like to hear more about evidence based policy and how it is working in
> the United Kingdom. I realise that it has made its way from the health
> arena through to social policy, and it is the social policy side which
> interests me. How much commitment has the Blair government made to the
> idea? What kinds of organisations have emerged/had funding increases to
> ensure research/policy links?
>
> Considering that knowledge utilization has been one of the most discussed
> areas of the research/policy nexus, what kind of mechanisms have been
> introduced to ensure that evidence based policy takes place?
>
> Do members think the idea can work? And is such an idea likely to survive
> a change of government?
>
> Are there any publications which are relevant? (I have followed the web
> suggestion of Anne Scott and I have that material.)
> Thank you in advance to any contributors.
