The disenchanted fairy godmother
We advocate for setting realistic expectations about the potential of evidence in resolving policy performance problems and caution against overstating the 'dream' of evidence-based policy making
Understanding the role of practical knowledge in evidence-based welfare reform—a three-stage model
Political, scientific-administrative, as well as practical knowledge, are important for evidence-based policies in the public service. However, empirically, these forms of knowledge have mainly been studied independently, highlighting the need to better understand their interaction in welfare policy.

In support of a consensual perspective, the special issue shows that a number of policy think tanks, which play consensual roles in different policy niches, have emerged in the Nordic countri…
House United, House Divided
While the UK's EU referendum and the resulting decision to leave the EU have been widely understood to contrast with European values such as cosmopolitanism, tolerance, pragmatism and shared sovereignty (Adler-Nissen et al., 2017), identity formation in response to the Brexit negotiations has several underpinnings. The Brexit negotiations have contributed toward reinforcing a common EU identity based on the idea that the UK has always been an "aw…
