Rethinking Policy and Politics
Reflections on Contemporary Debates in Policy Studies
AvSarah Ayres
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
1 407 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In recent years the nature of policy and politics has witnessed significant transformations. These have challenged perceptions about the ways in which policy is studied, designed, delivered and appraised. This book –the first in the New Perspectives in Policy and Politics series - brings together world-leading scholars to reflect on the implications of some of these developments for the field of policy studies and the world of practice. First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, the book offers critical reflections on the recent history and future direction of policy studies. It advances the debate by rethinking the ways in which scholars and students of policy studies can (re)engage with pertinent issues in pursuit of both scholarly excellence and practical solutions to global policy problems.
Tracing the Political
Depoliticisation, Governance and the State
AvMatt Flinders,Matt Wood
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
1 255 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Over the past two decades politicians have delegated many political decisions to expert agencies or ‘quangos’, and portrayed the associated issues, like monetary or drug policy, as technocratic or managerial. At the same time an increasing number of important political decisions are being removed from democratic public debate altogether, leading many commentators to argue that they are part of a ‘crisis of democracy’, marking the ‘end of politics’.Tracing the political uses a broad range of international case studies to chart the politicising and depoliticising dynamics that shape debates about the future of governance and the liberal democratic state. The book is part of the New perspectives in policy and politics series, and will be an important text for students of politics and policy, as well as researchers and policy makers.
How Does Collaborative Governance Scale?
AvChris Ansell,Jacob Torfing
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
1 255 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Scale is an overlooked issue in the research on interactive governance. This book takes up the important task of investigating the scalar dimensions of collaborative governance in networks, partnerships, and other interactive arenas and explores the challenges of operating at a single scale, across or at multiple scales and of moving between scales. First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, the volume explores the role of scale and scaling in a wide range of policy areas, including employment policy, water management, transportation planning, public health, university governance, artistic markets, child welfare and humanitarian relief. Cases are drawn from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America and span all levels from local to global. Together, the theoretical framework and the empirical case studies sensitize us to the tensions that arise between scales of governance and to the challenges of shifting from one scale of governance to another.
Media and Governance
Exploring the Role of News Media in Complex Systems of Governance
AvThomas Schillemans,Jon Pierre
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 255 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this updated volume explores the intersections between governance and media in western democracies, which have undergone profound recent changes. Many governmental powers have been shifted toward a host of network parties such as NGOs, state enterprises, international organizations, autonomous agencies, and local governments. Governments have developed complex networks for service delivery and they have a strategic interest in the news media as an arena where their interests can be served and threatened. How do the media relate to and report on complex systems of government? How do the various governance actors respond to the media and what are the effects on their policies? This book considers the impact of media-related factors on governance, policy, public accountability and the attribution of blame for failures.
Policy Learning and Policy Failure
AvClaire A. Dunlop
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 255 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this updated volume explores policy failures and the valuable opportunities for learning that they offer. Policy successes and failures offer important lessons for public officials, but often they do not learn from these experiences. The studies in this volume investigate this broken link. The book defines policy learning and failure and organises the main studies in these fields along the key dimensions of processes, products and analytical levels. Drawing together a range of experts in the field, the volume sketches a research agenda linking policy scholars with policy practice.
Superdiversity, Policy and Governance in Europe
Multi-scalar Perspectives
AvJenny Phillimore,Nando Sigonam. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 255 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Immigration has transformed the social, economic, political and cultural landscapes of global cities such as London, Melbourne, Milan and Amsterdam. The term ‘superdiversity’ captures a new era of migration-driven demographic diversifications and associated complexities. Superdiversity is the future or, in many cases, the current reality of neighbourhoods, cities, countries and regions, yet the implications of superdiversification for governance and policy have, until now, received very little attention. First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this insightful volume brings together contributions from experts across Europe to explore the ways in which superdiversity has shaped the development of policy and to consider challenges for the future.
Practical Lessons from Policy Theories

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this critical and practical volume challenges policy theory scholars to change the way they produce and communicate research. Leading academics propose eight ways to synthesise and translate state of the art knowledge to equip scholars to communicate their insights with each other and a wider audience. Chapters consider topics such as narratives as tools for influencing policy change, essential habits of successful policy entrepreneurs, and applying cultural theory to navigate the policy process. Providing theoretical clarity and accumulated knowledge, this text highlights the vital importance of translating policy research in practical and understandable ways.The articles on which Chapters 2, 3 and 5 are based are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence.
Policy-Making as Designing
The Added Value of Design Thinking for Public Administration and Public Policy
AvArwin van Buuren,Jenny M. Lewism. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 083 kr
Skickas
The articles on which Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are based are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Design approaches to policy-making have gained increasing popularity among policy makers in recent years.First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this book presents original critical reflections on the value of design approaches and how they relate to the classical idea of public administration as a design science, with a new concluding chapter. Contributors consider the potential, challenges and applications of design approaches and distinguish between three methods currently characterising the discipline: design as optimisation, design as exploration and design as co-creation. Developing the dialogue around public administration as a design science, this collection explores how a more ‘designerly’ way of thinking can improve public administration and public policy.
Taking Risks and Breaking New Frontiers in Policy and Politics

How do we conceive of policy and political studies? To what extent should our science be ‘normative’ or ‘objective’ or ‘positive’? Who are our audiences and how do we engage them? Whose knowledge matters and how does it accumulate? How should we advance the study of policy and politics?First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this book makes a statement about the study of policy and politics: what it is, how it is done, where it has been and where it is going. It comprises scholarship that has rarely been combined to explore several fundamental challenges about research in policy and politics. It concludes by challenging the field to consider different ways of thinking about what we can discover and construct in the world and how we can conduct our science.
Strategic Management of the Transition to Public Sector Co-Creation
AvJacob Torfing,Ewan Ferliem. fl.

Skickas
As the practices of public governance are rapidly changing, so must the theoretical frameworks for understanding the creation of efficient, effective and democratic governance solutions.First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics journal, this book explores the role of strategic management, digitalisation and generative platforms in encouraging the co-creation of innovative public value outcomes. It considers why we must transform the public sector to drive co-creation and the importance of integrating different theoretical strands when studying processes, barriers and outcomes.This book lays out important stepping-stones for the development of new research into the ongoing transition to co-creation as a mode of governance.
Beyond Nudge
Advancing the State-of-the-Art of Behavioural Public Policy and Administration
AvBenjamin Ewert,Kathrin Loerm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 185 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In recent years, a wave of reforms known as ‘nudges’ or ‘behavioural interventions’ have emerged in public policy and administration. ‘Nudge’ policies are created to lightly influence groups in society to change their behaviour, using behavioural insights to solve complex policy problems. Generally, behavioural approaches focus on the psychology underlying the implementation and effects of policies in practice.First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics journal, this book situates these reforms within a broader tradition of methodological individualism. With contributions from international scholars, it demonstrates that when behavioural policies expand their focus beyond the individual, they have the potential to better understand, investigate, and shape social outcomes.
Transformational Change in Public Policy

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
How can Public Policy scholarship contribute to transformational societal change? In this collection of essays, previously published in Policy & Politics, the authors explore different avenues towards more transformational Public Policy research. This includes being braver in what questions we ask; more inclusive in the actors we study and audiences we speak to; and more diverse in our theories and methods. The chapters address issues such as crises, democracy, participation, disasters, and paradigm change. This book is essential reading for academics involved in Public Policy and Politics, and those invested in the improvement of our societies during turbulent times.
Policy Expertise in Times of Crisis
AvPeter Aagaard,Marleen Eastonm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2027
1 108 kr
Kommande
From financial shocks and health pandemics to climate change and national security threats, crises expose the faultlines in how policy expertise is sought, filtered and acted upon.This edited collection offers a rigorous, comparative analysis of governmental policy advisory systems under pressure. Drawing on case studies spanning COVID-19 responses in Australia and Belgium and slow-burning, “creeping” crises such as climate change, the authors examine the available knowledge, advisory bodies and experts from trusted insiders to external commentators. Together, these invaluable chapters advance our understanding of how evidence-informed advice shapes – and is shaped by – the politics of crisis governance.
