There is often a difficult balance in academic work between responding to immediate questions and taking a longer term perspective on any given issue. This is especially true of policy oriented work, which faces the temptation of pronouncing on headlines or else dismissing specific developments as mere distractions from historical trends. The corollary to this difficult balance comes with the question of evidence in government, which often has an uncertain and difficult status in public policy. Even during the height of New Labour’s attempts to foster a culture of evidence based policy making within Whitehall, there were numerous critiques of the very idea that policy making was about evidence, rather than electoral concerns, party ideologies or responses to individual ministerial pressures or personalities (O’Brien, in press). Indeed Stevens (2011) found policy making suffused with evidence of differing and competing forms, all incorporated into policy decisions in complex and sometimes diffused ways.The quest to find evidence, in whatever form, for policy making has arisen concurrent to the transformation of government in the era of governance (Bevir & Rhodes, 2003) and (post-) new public management (Hood, 2008). Policy making has been subject to attempts at professionalisation, standardisation and the application of various forms of management theory. The longer term evolution of professionalisation within public policy making provides a further complication for discussions of the use of evidence, for policy makers, research, for academics, and for the dialogue between the two.
