Why knowing what to do is not enough : a realistic perspective on self-reliance
Documentos PDF
Abstract
This book is a translation and adaption of the Dutch report ‘Weten is nog geen
doen’, published by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy
(WRR) in 2017. The report was presented to the State Secretary of Security and
Justice, Klaas Dijkhof, on 24 April 2017. In it, the WRR recommends the Dutch
government to take a realistic approach on people’s mental capacities when
designing rules and institutions. On 22 January 2018, the government gave its
formal response in a Memorandum to Parliament, in which it embraced a more
realistic approach and announced that new policies will be subjected to a ‘capacity
to act test’. More information is available on the WRR website: https://english.wrr.

This publication was written by Anne-Greet Keizer, Will Tiemeijer and Mark
Bovens. Together they formed a project group, chaired by member of the Council
Mark Bovens and coordinated by Anne-Greet Keizer. The group was assisted by
interns Gijs Custers, Rodinde Pauw, Rosalie Joosten, Vivian van Wingerden,
Emma Hartholt and Maxime Hensels. The original Dutch publication has been
adapted for an international audience, but not updated.
This book is the product of an extensive process of consultation and analysis. In
addition to studying the academic literature, we conducted more than 90 interviews
with experts, policymakers and stakeholders. We are very grateful for their time and
effort. Their names are listed at the end of the book. Special thanks go the experts
who were prepared to read and comment at length on an earlier version of this
book. The theoretical chapters were reviewed by Prof. Dr. Denise de Ridder and
Prof. Dr. Jaap Denissen. In the final phase, part of the publications was discussed
with Prof. Dr. Kees van den Bos, Prof. Dr. Wilco van Dijk, Prof. Dr. Michiel
Scheltema and Mr. Reinier van Zutphen.
