Library of IA Case Studies

Date: 
03/01/2011

This library, developed jointly by the LIAISE Network of Excellence and the ALREG project contains summaries of many case studies of IA. An IA case study is ‘a report on a specific process of IA with a narrative - analytical structure’, organised by several variables such as tools used, role of consultation and timing in the policy process. Material for the case studies is drawn from a variety of ‘sources’, including several FP funded projects. They cover IAs undertaken in the European Commission and different EU and non EU states.

For each source, the IA case studies are summarised on ‘source cards', with appropriate details about what is covered and web links to further information. Only IAs case studies that are based on interviews and an analysis of available documents are included. The large number of IAs cases that have been assessed using scorecards are therefore excluded.
 
The library is simply designed so the contents can be used in a number of different ways. It does not contain the text of individual IA case studies.
 
Any researcher is entitled to use the information in the library as they see fit, provided that they acknowledge the source with the following words: 
The data is derived from the Library of IA case studies jointly developed by the FP7 funded LIAISE Network of Excellence and the ERC funded ALREG project

We encourage users to add their own case studies to this Library. If you would like to propose additional case studies, please contact John Turnpenny and/or Oliver Fritsch.
