Abstract Academic and practical actors have made new claims to foster the link between research, policymaking and sustainability. While some argue in favor of a democratization of knowledge through transdisciplinary research, others suggest that planetary boundaries require urgent political measures that need to be implemented – if necessary – against established standards of democracy. This article criticizes these two positions arguing that decision-making needs to equally reflect knowledge and political interests. Research and political Utilization thereby need to be strictly separated in order to ensure democratic processes and academic freedom. How can scientific research be used successfully for sustainability policy? According to the RIU model the link between knowledge and governance is realized through intermediary processes of Integration. In order to study scientific knowledge, transfer empirically and analyze integration in the area of sustainability policy, the article offers findings from a qualitative analysis of the epistemic community for ‘Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development’ around the OECD Focal Points.

弥合可持续政策知识与治理之间差距的挑战——经合组织发展政策一致性“焦点”的案例

摘要 学术界和实践者提出了新的主张，以促进研究、政策制定和可持续性之间的联系。虽然有些人主张通过跨学科研究实现知识民主化，但其他人则认为，地球边界需要紧急的政治措施，如果必要的话，需要根据既定的民主标准来实施。本文批评这两种立场，认为决策需要平等地反映知识和政治利益。因此，研究和政治利用需要严格分开，以确保民主进程和学术自由。如何将科学研究成功用于可持续发展政策？根据 RIU 模型，知识和治理之间的联系是通过整合的中介过程实现的。为了研究科学知识、实证转移和分析可持续性政策领域的整合，本文提供了围绕经合组织联络点的“可持续发展政策一致性”认知共同体的定性分析结果。
