Abstract
In this commentary on Morrison-Saunders et al.'s [Morrison-Saunders A, Pope J, Gunn JAE, Bond A, Retief F. 2014. Strengthening impact assessment: a call for integration and focus. Impact Assess Project Appraisal. 44] position paper we focus on two main issues: their (1) call for unification and (2) assessment of the implications for impact assessment (IA) of the better regulation agenda. The importance of names and naming, plus the existence of genuine differences between IA tools and IA communities lead us to problematize the goal of unification. We argue that their ‘call to arms’ is based on a partial analysis of drivers of deregulation and is unnecessarily alarmist. Our commentary concludes with recommendations for a future agenda that prioritizes creativity arising from a vibrant community of practice.
