Pure science or policy involvement? Ambiguous boundary-work for Swedish carbon cycle science
(2007) In Environmental Science and Policy 10(1). p.39-47- Abstract
- In theory, the interaction between the worlds of environmental science and policy may seem straightforward. From a realm outside politics and power, scientists provide relevant knowledge about nature upon which informed policy decisions could be based. However, in reality this linear model tends to be replaced by a much more complex relationship where the distinction between facts and values, knowledge and interests is less clear cut. In this paper, I explore links between science, policy and power through an interview study conducted with Swedish carbon cycle scientists and government negotiators to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Drawing on a co-production model of science-policy interplay this paper addresses the... (More)
