Inhaltsangabe

The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regard to evidence. It draws on both policy studies and cognitive psychology to understand how the origins of such bias derive from the fundamental nature of policy contestation, as well as the nature of human cognition and information processing. Taken as a whole, the approach promoted is coined the 'good governance of evidence' - a concept that represents the construction of systems that strive to use rigorous, transparent, and unbiased evidence to inform policy decisions. Essential reading for social policy, health policy, governance and politics students and researchers.
