Abstract

This article concerns the recent shifts and tensions in the role of scientific knowledge in policymaking. Policy practitioners are striving to solve a compelling problem: how to deal with complex problems under conditions of uncertainty. This article focuses on two policy reforms in Finland that have been designed to address these issues: strategic governance reform and the take up of a culture of experimentation. It suggests that the knowledge-policy relations within these reforms are characterised by profound tensions between ‘good governance’ and ‘good knowledge’. Whereas good governance demands that knowledge is controlled, good knowledge entails uncertain and uncontrollable elements.
科学知识在不确定条件下处理复杂政策问题中的作用
这篇文章关注科学知识在政策制定中的作用最近的转变和紧张。政策实践者正在努力解决一个引人注目的问题:如何在不确定的条件下处理复杂的问题。本文重点介绍芬兰旨在解决这些问题的两项政策改革:战略治理改革和采用实验文化。它表明,这些改革中的知识政策关系的特点是“良好治理”和“良好知识”之间的深刻紧张关系。良好的治理要求知识受到控制,而良好的知识则包含不确定和不可控的因素。
