Epistemic Community

yuti — September 14, 2007 / 6:50 pm

What makes a community different with others? Peter M. Haas gives a characteristics of epistemic communities, which must have(Haas, International Organization Vol.46):

1) A shared set of normative and principled beliefs, which provide a value-based rationale for the social action of community members.

2) Shared causal beliefs, which are derived from their analysis of practices leading or contributing to a central set of problems in their domain and which then serve as the basis for elucidating the multiple linkages between possible policy action and desired outcomes

3) Shared notions of validity-that is, intersubjective, internally defined criteria for weighing and validating knowledge in the domain of their expertise

4) A common policy enterprise- that is, a set of common practices associated with a set of problems to which their professional competence is directed, presumably out of the conviction that human welfare will be enhanced as a consequence.

Haas define epistemic community as a network of professionals with recognized expertise and competence in a particular domain and an authoritative claim to policy-relevant knowledge within that domain or issue-area
