讲座简介：

In policy schools, policy analysis has traditionally been taught as a largely technical exercise that consists of devising and comparing options to address a given problem. The analyst must always be prepared for the technically optimal solution to be rejected for political reasons, but her role is clear: to speak truth to power. Recently, however, policy analysis has been forced to confront an increasingly polarized political context, in which “alternative facts” and “fake news” have flourished and threaten to undermine the distinction between subjective opinions and verifiably objective facts on which technical policy analysis depends. We assess a number of responses to the challenge of policy advice in the age of “truthiness” and argue that this phenomenon is neither new nor especially destructive. However, it does indicate that the teaching of policy analysis should pay more attention to the context in which advice is given and the recent revival of the idea of policy advisory systems suggests how this could be done.
