This handbook comprehensively reflects, presents and summarises both first and second wave scholarship into Policy Advisory Systems (PAS).



This handbook comprehensively reflects, presents and summarises both first and second wave scholarship into Policy Advisory Systems (PAS). Bringing together leading scholars to engage persistent as well as emergent themes, the handbook provides a single volume highlighting both classic and new directions for PAS research, summarising both existing knowledge and outlining possible future findings.

Covering the activities of a range of advisory system members from think tanks to public services, this handbook examines a broad set of administrative traditions and institutions affecting such systems in democratic, developing, authoritarian political regimes, and in supranational and transnational governance arrangements. It focusses on the systematic interactions of the supply, demand and brokerage of policy advice in different jurisdictions, and shows how these systems operate and evolve.

The Routledge Handbook of Policy Advisory Systems is essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners of public policy, public administration, and public management. Those interested in comparative politics and government, international and public organisations and the use, influence and impact of policy advisory systems in a range of policy domains will find its comprehensive scope and coverage of great benefit.

Recenzijas

The Routledge Handbook of Policy Advisory Systems is a wonderfully structured compendium, with contributions from leaders in the field of public policy. Every chapter offers excellent insights. This agenda-setting work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand advisory systems, the pressures on them, and where new research will make the biggest splash.

Michael Mintrom, Director of Better Governance and Policy, Monash University, Australia

The Routledge Handbook of Policy Advisory Systems offers a much-needed overview and critical discussion on the state of conceptual and empirical research on policy advisory systems. It not only provides an excellent overview of key concepts and debates but also a valuable addition and fresh reflections to ongoing discussions. I particularly appreciate the mix and diversity of contributors and contributions covering a wide range of topics, actors, political and policy contexts. Overall, the Handbook is the ultimate reference source for any scholar or student of policy advisory processes and systems.

Denitsa Marchevska, KU Leuven, Belgium

The Routledge Handbook of Policy Advisory Systems offers excellent coverage of conceptual foundations of policy advisory systems, systems observed in different governance arrangements, and key contemporary considerations relating to the sources and assessment of policy advice. Among its contributions to the policy process literature, the Handbook showcases the potential of engaging in systematic, comparative analyses of how policy advisory structures materialize, evolve, and influence activities spanning the public policy process. In doing so, the Handbook will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners for many years to come.

Saba Siddiki, Director of Center for Policy Design and Governance, Syracuse University, USA

This handbook is a lighthouse for all who seek to understand the multifaceted nature of policy advisory systems. It stands out for its systematic comparative approach, which combines cross-countries, multilevel and perspectives over time. By connecting empirical insights with conceptual discussions and an outlook on future developments, this handbook will significantly shape policy (advisory) research in the decades to come.
