To examine the institutional, cultural, and political mechanisms that cause evidence-based policymaking to invert into policy-based evidence.
Critiqued the conventional linear model of evidence-based policymaking.
Applied a sociological framework examining the embeddedness of expertise within political authority and cultural contexts.
Demonstrates that policy-relevant facts result from negotiations and struggles over political and epistemic authority rather than straightforward scientific consensus.
Identifies that boundary blurring between scientific inquiry and policymaking exacerbates contestation over knowledge validation guidelines, accelerating the shift toward policy-based evidence.
