The second edition of this highly regarded book provides a concise
and accessible introduction to the principles and elements of
policy design in contemporary governance. It examines in detail the
range of substantive and procedural policy instruments that
together comprise the toolbox from which governments choose tools
to resolve policy problems and the principles and practices that
lead to their use. Guiding readers through the study of the many
different kinds of instruments used by governments in carrying out
their tasks, adapting to, and altering, their environments, this
book: Discusses current trends in instrument use linked to factors
such as globalization and the increasingly networked, digital and
collaborative nature of modern society; Considers the principles
and practices behind the selection and use of specific types of
instruments in contemporary government and the future research
agenda of policy design studies and practices; Evaluates in detail
the merits, demerits and rationales for the use of specific
organization, regulatory, financial and information-based tools and
the trends visible in their use including recent efforts to develop
and deploy new tools such as nudges and choice architectures,
co-production and crowd-sourcing; Addresses the issues surrounding
not only individual tools but also concerning the evolution and
development of instrument mixes, their relationship to policy
styles and the challenges involved in their (re)design. Providing a
comprehensive overview of this essential component of modern
governance and featuring helpful definitions of key concepts and
further reading, this book is essential reading for all students of
public policy, administration and management.
