Background
To change policymaking, it is important to understand the drivers of political behaviour.
- Misperception and Disinformation
- Collective Intelligence
- Emotions
- Values and Identities
- Framing, Metaphor and Narrative
- Trust and Openness
- Evidence-informed policymaking
Advances in behavioural, decision and social sciences show that we are not purely rational beings.
Emotions, values, identity and reason affect how we think, talk, take decisions on political issues, and perceive the world.
The report "Understanding our political nature" gives new insights to improve policymaking with
- a better understanding of these drivers of human behaviour
- techniques to deal with them successfully
- implications for policy
