Evidence-Based Policy Analysis investigates the insights learned from case studies of evidence-based policy evaluation and the policymaking process across the five distinct policy domains, representing a pioneering effort within this sphere of research. Several chapters use Korea's experience as the focus of analysis, for example, on responses to a rapidly aging population along with its low and declining birth rates while taking care that the lessons drawn are applicable to many other emerging nations, especially those in Asia, as they develop sets of policies to address similar issues in their own particular contexts. The book features eminent scholars addressing critical domestic issues through an international and comparative lens focused on a major Asian society, offering lessons for other similar societies and nations.
