本文讨论了最近的事态发展，在思考什么是好的政策制定，特别是“证据”在这一活动中的作用。认识到目前强调以证据为基础的决策，它首先寻求在学术和官方出版物中追溯这一术语的来源，并确定它是如何被使用的，就好像它表示一种可定义的方法或专业实践机构。现代化政府是一个重要的起点，它强调需要改进决策过程，并强调证据在决策过程中应发挥的作用。本文讨论了这一问题的起因，以及在随后的一系列报告中阐述这一问题的方式。第二，它试图确定这一术语的兴起在实践中对官员意味着什么。在制定和执行政策时，需要更好地利用各种证据、信息、研究和分析，这一点已得到广泛理解。在这方面，关于什么是合法的证据，仍然存在着各种各样的看法，但这并不妨碍政策顾问切实改进其工作方式。
This article discusses recent developments in thinking about what constitutes good policy making, and in particular the role of ‘evidence’ in that activity. Recognising the current emphasis on evidence based policy-making, it seeks first to trace the sources in both academic and official publications of this term, and to establish how it has come to be used as if it denoted a definable method or body of professional practice. Modemising Government, which stresses the needfor improvement in the processes of policy making and the role that should be played by evidence in them, is an important starting point. The article discusses both the antecedents of this concern, and the ways in which it has been elaborated in a range of subsequent reports. Secondly, it attempts to establish what the rise to prominence of this terminology has meant in practice for officials. The need for better use of evidence, information, research and analysis of all kinds in the development and implementation of policy is widely understood. That there remains a range of views about what legitimately constitutes evidence in this context need not stand in the way of practical improvements in the ways in which policy advisers approach their task.
