This Handbook represents a pioneering effort to consolidate the
state of knowledge on policy formulation. An invaluable resource
for scholars and students of policy studies, this Handbook provides
a set of analytical discussions that help scholars, students and
practitioners better understand the multiple dimensions of what
policy formulation has come to mean in contemporary public
policy-making and governance. In attempting to resolve pressing
public problems, governments devise, deploy and develop policy
tools in many different ways in different sectors and
jurisdictions. Knowledge of these processes has been fragmented,
however, spanning a multitude of different approaches, perspectives
and case studies. By critically and systematically analysing both
the processes and agents of policy formulation, this Handbook
provides the first comprehensive overview of the formulation
activities that are undertaken by governments in order to match
their policy goals with the means of achieving them. The Handbook
unites a wide range of expert contributors who examine the roles
played by policy actors, institutions and ideas in answering
fundamental questions about policy formulation such as who
undertakes it, how, when, where and why. Through seven thematic
sections this Handbook discusses a wide range of topics related to
formulation such as the nature of policy design, instrument choice,
policy appraisal, policy advice and the politics of defining and
resolving policy problems. Contributors include: C. Adelle, J.
