Keywords:
For nation-states, the contexts for developing and implementing policy have become more complex and demanding. Yet policy studies have not fully responded to the challenges and opportunities represented by these developments. Governance literature has drawn attention to a globalising and network-based policy world, but politics and the role of the state have been de-emphasised. This book addresses this imbalance by reconsidering traditional policy-analytic concepts, and re-developing and extending new ones, in a melded approach defined as systemic institutionalism. This links policy with governance and the state and suggests how real-world issues might be substantively addressed.

Recenzijas

Offers a timely premise that the needs of public policy have not been particularly well served by policy literature. Taking issue with common refrains like a need for governance, the books chapters provide an expansive critical canvas for a sort of public policy soul-searching.
