The legitimacy of experts, and of the political decision-makers and policy-makers whom they advise, essentially depends on the quality of the advice. But what does quality mean in this context, and how can it be achieved? This volume argues that the quality of scientific advice can be ensured by an appropriate institutional design of advisory organisations. Using examples from a wide range of international case studies, including think tanks, governmental research institutes, agencies and academies, the authors provide a systematic guide to the major problems and pitfalls encountered in scientific advice and the means by which organisations around the world have solved these problems. 606 $aScience news 606 $aScientific bureaus 606 $aScience and state 615 0$aScience news. 615 0$aScientific bureaus. 615 0$aScience and state. 676 $a338.9/26 702 $aLentsch$b Justus 702 $aWeingart$b Peter 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457827703321 996 $aThe politics of scientific advice$92453470 997 $aUNINA
