Public Policy and Political Institutions - The Role of Culture in Traffic Policy (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Public Policies and Political Institutions explores the major questions posed by the advent of the new institutionalism in political science and public administration. It demonstrates how policy communities are influenced in thought and action by the values, rules, traditions and routines embedded in political systems. Frank Hendriks compares traffic policy making in two major European cities - Munich in Germany and Birmingham in England. Using cultural and new institutional theory he is able to conclude that political institutions contribute to the mobilization of cultural bias in policy making. He shows that political institutions influence the interaction between different cultural perspectives on policy issues, which in turn influences the course that policy processes take. Ultimately, the author makes a plea for pluralistic and perspectivistic democracy. This book will be welcomed by academics interested in public policy, public administration, political theory, environmental studies and urban planning, as well as local government policymakers and practitioners.
