metadata.value: This article analyzes the interaction of state, scientific, and expert communities in order to determine
  the prospects for introducing the methods of “evidence-based policy” into the Russian practice
  of public administration. It reveals to what extent the representatives of the state and expert
  communities are ready to cooperate to increase the scientific validity of government decisions.
  Research was carried out by using focused interviews. The purposive sample included public authorities
  and representatives of scientific, expert, and educational communities from ten regions
  of Russia. In general, both public servants and representatives of scientific and expert communities
  realize the significance of using evidence-based policy tools for developing government
  decisions. However, the mutual expectations that are formed can hardly be called harmonious
  due to a fair amount of skepticism on both sides. A significant number of public servants doubt
  that scientific knowledge of social, economic, and political processes is objective, and some are
  afraid that scientists will introduce their value preferences into analytical materials. The representatives
  of scientific community, in their turn, suspect decision-makers of being overly obsessed
  with a narrow circle of confidants, of misunderstanding of the role of analytics in the development
  of public policy, and an inability to appreciate the work done by expert scientists. Lack of mutual
  trust is the main reason for the skeptical attitude of decision-makers to cooperate with the scientific
  and expert community and pushes them either to maintain contacts with proven analytical
  centers, as a rule, affiliated with the government, or forces them to rely solely on materials prepared
  by employees of the relevant state departments.
