Abstract (may include machine translation)

An epiphenomenon of the culture of evaluation of public policies and normative production, among various alternatives (e.g. indicators), the tool of impact assessment (IAs) has emerged as a major policy innovation, which was diffused to almost all Member States of the EU during the last decade. Although the existence of various practices and understandings of the concept makes an effort of a precise definition particularly challenging, this contribution attempts to provide a typology of Impact Assessments in Europe, based on an empirical analysis of IA practices by the EU in 25 EU Member States as well as a theoretical reflection on the interaction of expertise with politics.
