Evidence-based policy : a realist perspective.

Evidence-based policy : a realist perspective.
Politique fondée sur les preuves : une perspective réaliste.

Pawson R.
Londres : Sage : 2011 : 11 p.+196 p.


Author Ray Pawson presents a devastating critique of the dominant approach to systematic review - namely the 'meta-analytic' approach as sponsored by the Cochrane and Campbell collaborations. In its place is commended an approach that he terms 'realist synthesis'. On this vision, the real purpose of systematic review is better to understand program theory, so that policies can be properly targeted and developed to counter an ever-changing landscape of social problems (4e de couverture).
