The European Commission has been pushing Member States to engage in Impact Assessment (IA) when they make policy. The Commission itself carries out such assessments and has an Impact Assessment Board that reviews them. But just what is IA, and is it compatible with democratic values? Sometimes it is defended as a version of cost/benefit analysis, that is, a technique derived from Utilitarianism and widely studied in schools of public policy. Other times it is described as merely an exhortation to think functionally and systematically about policy. The lecture will discuss alternative views of IA and the tensions between IA and accountable, representative democracy.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
