I am a public policy consultant from Auckland, New Zealand. My practice specializes in evaluation and economic analysis.

Methods are matched to context, to provide the specific mix of evidence (economic and/or other) needed to support a...

This article sets out the components of the foresight approach that has been adopted by many governments in the developed world, and identifies elements of this 'dominant' approach that may hinder its uptake in developing countries. Instead, it suggests that a less rigid, more exploratory and normative approach may be better suited to many developing country contexts. With reference to the writings and practice of the creator of 'la prospective', Gaston Berger, it argues for an attitude that...
