| Summary |
"The Thrust of the Book Experts increasingly have a more central role on all levels of public governance. As holders of expert knowledge, they are trusted to provide certainty and answers in the face of increased complexity, interdependence and the fast-changing pace of life.Experts' claim to authoritative certainty enables them to be frequently involved and consulted by policy-makers. Their importance has increased as policy-making has become more complex and intense. Yet we cannot turn to one single definition of an expert. Experts constitute a highly heterogenous group, including in-house specialists, public interest stakeholders, lobbyists, and academics. This diverse group possesses specialised and technical knowledge across a wide range of policy fields or legislative instruments"-- Provided by publisher. |
