Download or read book A General Theory of Public Policy Implementation written by Anthony Joseph Alberta and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the implementation of public policy has proceeded without an accepted theoretical foundation. As a result, scholars have satisfied themselves with descriptive accounts of why policies were not implemented as planned interspersed with less visible accounts of successful policy implementation. While such discussion may be interesting, it does not further our understanding of policy implementation as a social process.
Download or read book Theories of Policy Change and Variation Reconsidered written by Peter John and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the development of field of public policy is represented as three distinct ages of theory building and testing. The first was the classic period of studies of decision-making and rationality; the second was an age of synthesis when theories of decision-making were blended into accounts of agenda setting; and the third -- which is starting to take shape -- is the age of political economy of public policy drawing on models and methods that have been applied to international relations and comparative politics, which are increasingly addressing public policy. The paper's argument offers a challenge to public policy scholars to use theory and approaches from political economy and to integrate them with classic and synthetic approaches so that knowledge and theory building is cumulative. The paper contains a review of the development of public policy theory in the 1990s; it provides an account of the current period as one of normal science; and it then reviews some recent work in comparative political economy as examples of the research on public policy taking place.
Download or read book Implementing Public Policy written by Michael Hill and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evidently, the time has come to describe and assess the shift and its effects on policies per se. And this book does so brilliantly. It takes stock of the relevant literature and also identifies significant theoretical issues as well as practical problems associated with public implementation in the new context of governance. Thus, the book is depicted as a state-of-the-art on public policy implementation" --CHOICE Bringing the major current insights in implementation research and theory together, Public Policy, Implementation and Governance reviews the literature on public policy implementation, relating it to contemporary developments in thinking about governance. The text stresses the continuing importance of a focus upon implementation processes and explores its central relevance to the practice of public administration. In light of the changing nature of governance, Hill and Hupe suggest strategies for both future research on and management of public policy implementation. Their basic approach is two-fold: firstly, to understand the process of implementation and secondly, to address how one might control and affect this process. Re-exploring the state of the art of the study of implementation as a sub-discipline of political science and public administration, this book will be essential reading for students and researchers in public policy, social policy, public management, public adminstration and governance.

The volume concludes with a discussion of fundamental issues of democracy in public policy.
Download or read book Green Political Theory written by Robert E. Goodin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their remarkable electoral successes, Green parties worldwide seized the political imagination of friends and foes alike. Mainstream politicians busily disparage them and imitate them in turn. This new book shows that 'greens' deserve to be taken more seriously than that. This is the first full-length philosophical discussion of the green political programme. Goodin shows that green public policy proposals are unified by a single, coherent moral vision - a 'green theory of value' - that is largely independent of the `green theory of agency' dictating green political mechanisms, strategies and tactics on the one hand, and personal lifestyle recommendations on the other. The upshot is that we demand that politicians implement green public policies, and implement them completely, without committing ourselves to the other often more eccentric aspects of green doctrine that threaten to alienate so many potential supporters.

Download or read book The Politics of Policy Analysis written by Paul Cairney and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on two key ways to improve the literature surrounding policy analysis. Firstly, it explores the implications of new developments in policy process research, on the role of psychology in communication and the multi-centric nature of policymaking. This is particularly important since policy analysts engage with policymakers who operate in an environment over which they have limited understanding and even less control. Secondly, it incorporates insights from studies of power, co-production, feminism, and decolonisation, to redraw the boundaries of policy-relevant knowledge. These insights help raise new questions and change expectations about the role and impact of policy analysis.
