The literature on policy strategies, instruments, and styles is
impressive. Still, a complex variety of theoretical and conceptual
approaches and analytical tools hamper a good overview. "Carrots,
Sticks, and Sermons "proposes such a framework for the field and
clearly shows how public policy instruments are classified,
packaged, and chosen, while highlighting the role evaluation plays
in the instruments-choice process.
"Carrots, Sticks, and Sermons "offers a comprehensive analysis
of categories and typologies of policy instruments. It classifies
sticks, carrots, and sermons--or, more specifically, regulation,
economic means, and information. Readers are offered a comparative
perspective of evaluation practice in foreign contexts. Special
attention is paid to the examples of Sweden, the Netherlands,
Belgium, England, Canada, the United States, and the Republic of
Korea. As such, this volume crosses language barriers that stand in
the way of dispersing research results among the international
community of theoreticians and practitioners. As nations become
increasingly interdependent, problems of implementation and
evaluation of policy choices will become issues of increasing
gravity.
"Carrots, Sticks, and Sermons "provides insights into the
traditional and current practice of policy and program evaluation
in various contexts. The book's theory of comparative public policy
will produce understanding and guidance in designing better
policies. It will be of wide interest to those in the fields of
public policy, particularly policy design, policy implementation,
policy evaluation, comparative politics, and economics.
