Beskrivning
This forward-thinking book examines the future of public policy as a discipline, both as it is taught and as it is practiced. Critically assessing the limits of current theories and approaches, leading scholars in the field highlight new models and perspectives.Chapters present data on what is taught in policy schools, using survey results from schools of public policy to assess pedagogical scope and adequacy. The book also considers policy work in government, and whether theory matches practice. Reflecting on the future of policy making, policy advice, implementation and governance in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it analyses how policy issues are now framed and debated, the range of available tools, and how public compliance and popular support have been eroded by the crisis.This book will be an essential guide to re-thinking the field of public policy and its theories, methods, and applications. It will help teachers, students, public managers and policy-makers navigate the new, turbulent governance landscape that lies ahead.

‘Brik and Pal bring together a timely and robust examination of the “future of policy sciences” boldly asking what are the new policy and governance challenges in a post pandemic world? And within the context of a potentially “bigger, protective state”, how well positioned and developed are the theories of policy science to progress meaningful and robust analysis? This book points to new and emerging themes in theoretical development, research and in the curricula of policy schools across the globe, noting unique developments in the non-Western world. Discussion explores the emerging concerns for the governance of turbulence, the challenging disdain of expertise and evidence, the growing role of big data and the accelerated interest in digital services pushed by pandemic pressures and uncertainty. Scholars and leaders of programs and schools of policy and governance will find this a valuable account of how the policy sciences is evolving and what is driving this intellectual development.’
