| Video Discription | Good politics and good policy must operate together to arrive at good outcomes. Data and evidence do not speak for themselves, nor does evidence-based policy get made in a political vacuum. Political decision-making structures are forced to wrestle with extraordinary complexity in real time, at high speed, with imperfect information and low tolerance for risk. The Bennett Institute’s political decision-making research programme examines how decisions are made in government. From the black box of the cabinet room itself, through to the role played by senior civil servants, special advisers, and outside experts, it examines current practice across a range of parliamentary democracies.
