This important book provides a state of the art of the study of
policy instruments, combining insights taken from European and
American experiences, to present a detailed exposition of the
nature and use of policy instruments.The book first analyses the
background of the instrumental approach and outlines its
development in the field of public adminstration. It also includes
an exposition of four alternative schools of thought about policy
instruments, namely, the instrumentalist, proceduralist,
contingentist and constitutivist schools. The criteria for choosing
instruments are discussed as is the effectiveness of regulatory,
financial and communicative instruments. This volume also addresses
the recent efforts by governments to restrict intervention in the
market. The final section provides a reassessment of the
instruments literature and looks at the questions that will
continue to face this perspective on public policy. This book will
be of great use to academics and students of public policy and
political science as well as policymakers.
