Governing by Data – Dilemmas and Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the dilemmas and perspectives of governing by data and indicators in the education sector with a special focus being put on the policy coordination practices of the European Union and on the emerging European norm of evidence-based policymaking. It presents some of the most relevant issues related to the use of data and indicators as instruments of governance, exhibiting the advantages and the challenges underpinning this relatively new practice. Stressing the difference between facts and data, it presents the benefits of using facts as tools of political pressure and persuasion, revealing also the limitations of this practice. The paper makes reference to the new opportunities created by the emergence of big databases containing large quantities of micro level, longitudinal data.
