NEUTRALITY AND ADVOCACY IN POLICY RESEARCH

In: Policy sciences: integrating knowledge and practice to advance human dignity ; the journal of the Society of Policy Scientists, Band 6, Heft 2, S. 107-119

Abstract

AN EXAMINATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL ASSUMPTIONS, PROFESSIONAL CONVENTIONS, AND INSTITUTIONAL PRESSURES IN POLICY RESEARCH-AND OF SUBSTANSIVE ALLOCATIONS AND FINDINGS OF PARTICULAR PROGRAMS IS BADLY NEEDED. THE UNDEFINABLE "PUBLIC INTEREST" SHOULD BE REPLACED BY A DEFINABLE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE SEATING THE STATUS OF DRAFTS, PROJECT FINANCES, AND INSTITUTE AND SPONSOR CONTROLS.
