This is an open access book. This book offers the first overview of
the 'wicked problems' literature, often seen as complex,
open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the 'problem'
and the preferred 'solution' being strongly contested. It
contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy
examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention.
There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical
aspects of how 'wicked problems' are identified, understood and
managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management
responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional
regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders
often advocate and implement ideological 'quick fixes', but
integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised
to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these
problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social,
economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights
about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance
for shared strategies for tackling 'wicked problems'.
