Abstract
The event will question how the social sciences (apart from economics) could play a more substantive role in government decision making. It will address questions such as: Why is economics dominant? What is the impact of having a single social science dominating thought in government? What do other social sciences have to offer?
Speakers: James Wilsdon Professor of Science and Democracy (SPRU)
