Evidence-informed policy-making promises to deliver better policies. Yet, people working at the science-policy interface in Europe face multiple challenges in making the most of it – from political constraints to a lack of administrative capacity and limited opportunity for productive exchange. Giuseppe Cannata discusses these challenges and their normative implications for European science-for-policy ecosystems
Giuseppe's current research focuses on the epistemic dimension of EU energy policy-making.
It aims to unpack the process through which knowledge is 'made and made available' for policy – and the power dynamics therein.
He started working on Euro-Mediterranean relations and migration policies, but gets easily distracted.
As a result, his research interests now include policy learning theories and the role of knowledge in politics, with a focus on EU energy and climate governance.
He is also interested, more broadly, in theories of the policy process and he tries to integrate insights from critical – or less critical – policy studies and science and technology studies.
