Splendors and Miseries of the Czech Policy Analysis: Its State and Development in a Perspective of External Influences

Summary/Abstract: Worldwide, policy analysis is a booming discipline due to the increasing complexity of public policy problems and continuing globalisation. The discipline which provides decision-makers with expert attitudes has been established also in the Czech Republic. However, a paper describing and explaining the state of policy analysis has been missing. This paper aims to bridge this gap via using a theoretical supply–demand model which is applied to a historical overview of policy analysis in the Czech Republic and an empirical research. The research consists of an analysis of public contracts (both demand and reply) in the Czech ministries. The paper concludes that the demand for policy analysis from ministries is vague and ministries do not shape policy analysis very actively. On the other side, many different approaches are typical for providers ho apply approaches that they are used to (yet academic style prevails). Czech policy analysis can thus be dentified as slightly positivist in the context of the development of the discipline in the world. Policy analysis as a scientific field has been already institutionalised but not yet practically politically accommodated.
