Evidence-Based Policymaking [EPUB ebook] 
Insights from Policy-Minded Researchers and Research-Minded Policymakers

The attention to theory builds a greater understanding of why miscommunication and mistrust occur. Until we better appreciate the forces that divide researchers and policymakers, we cannot effectively construct strategies for bringing them together.
