E-grāmata: Policy Learning and Policy Failure

Policy learning !and analyzing policy failure are usually two separate literatures, but here scholars of politics bring them together. They consider such aspects as pathologies of policy learning: what they are and how they contribute to policy failure, overcoming the failure of "silicon somewheres:" learning in policy transfer processes, British Columbia's fast ferries and Sydney's airport link: partisan barriers to learning from policy failure, and policy myopia as a source of policy failure: adaptation and policy learning under deep uncertainty.
