摘要

Imagine you are a climate scientist, and you get a call from a politician asking whether she should support a proposal to impose mandatory caps on carbon-dioxide emissions. Lucky you! Should you urge support of the proposal? Or should you restrict yourself to explaining recent developments in climate science? Should you offer to answer any specific questions the politician might have about climate science? Or should you try to broaden her thinking a bit and explain the merits not only of the proposed regulation but also several alternative options? A difficult choice, to be sure. Worse yet, as Roger S. Pielke, Jr., argues in his cogent book The Honest Broker. Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics, many scientists are not aware they have a choice. Like the politicians they advise, many scientists assume a "linear model" of science and politics, according to which science advice precedes and compels political decisions. First let scientists get the facts straight, the linear models says, then require politicians to implement them. The important contribution of this engaging book is to show scientists and policymakers how and why to go beyond the linear model of science advice. Pielke's brief treatment of "big picture" questions of democracy has important shortcomings, and he does not engage the growing literature on public engagement. But for anyone interested in a policy-oriented perspective on science advice, The Honest Broker offers an accessible and stimulating guide to improving the role of science advisors in politics and policymaking.

Pielke,Jr.)在其有说服力的著作《诚实的经纪人》中所说的那样。从政策和政治的科学意义上讲,许多科学家并不知道他们有选择。就像他们所建议的政治家一样,许多科学家都采用科学和政治的“线性模型”,据此,科学建议优先于并迫使政治决策。线性模型说,首先要让科学家弄清事实,然后要求政客加以实施。这本引人入胜的书的重要贡献是向科学家和政策制定者展示了如何以及为什么超越线性科学建议模型。皮尔克(Pielke)对民主的“大局面”问题的简短处理存在重大缺陷,而且他并未参与有关公众参与的日益增长的文献研究。但是,对于对科学指导以政策为导向的观点感兴趣的任何人,诚实经纪人都提供了可访问且令人振奋的指南,以改善科学顾问在政治和政策制定中的作用。
