Office Of Technology Assessment

It is difficult in any pluralistic society to gauge the influence on governments or administrations of organizations which engage in policy studies even when those studies are the product of parliamentary bodies like select committees or other agencies. It is particularly difficult in the United Kingdom for example, where Parliament is, in practice if not in theory under the constitution, the unequal partner of the executive. Even where policy recommendations are followed by government there is often no way of telling whether or not they would have been pursued in any event, on the government's own initiative.
