Abstract:
In a Napoleonic country such as Italy, ministerial cabinets have traditionally served as
central advisors in the politicised policy advisory system (PAS), while evidence-based
policy-making has usually been marginal. Nevertheless, recent developments in political
systems have pushed for the pluralisation of the Napoleonic PAS toward a stronger
demand for scientific and expert advice. Against this backdrop, the role of government
research institutes (GRIs) as advisors represents an interesting change that could potentially fuel the development of an evidence-based approach in a period of changing advisory practices. We investigate these developments through a case study concerning 20
Italian GRIs that are engaged as influential advisors or recruited to support implementation through policy work. We obtained evidence through document analysis, in-depth
interviews, and a questionnaire administered to the 20 GRIs. The overall picture displays
a shift in conceiving policy advice in the political system and opens the door to
innovation.
