The Inhibitory Effect of Strategic Ignorance in EBPM — How 'Pretending Not to Know' Distorts Policy

Applying Linsey McGoey's strategic ignorance theory to Japan's EBPM promotion, this analysis examines the structural mechanisms by which evidence is not reflected in policy despite its existence. It reveals the structure of intentional ignorance behind rhetoric such as 'insufficient data' and 'still too early.'
