How could the small country called the Netherlands -- almost
totally destroyed during WW II, being very poor and judged to be
primitive at that time -- become one of the wealthiest, democratic
and modern countries in the World? This book argues that respective
Dutch governments, consciously or unconsciously, opted for an
efficient and effective solution of focus and flexibility. Instead
of trying to accomplish everything at once, they chose to achieve
one goal at a time. These goals altered when the previous ones had
been achieved and the focus turned to other problems that had been
neglected previously.
This book offers a theory which argues that it is not only possible
to explain when policy change is likely to occur, but also to
explain the direction. It argues that what is neglected at present
is likely to become dominant in the policies of the near future.
The core of a fundamental policy change is always concerned with a
shift of attention toward those aspects of problems that were the
most chronically neglected in the previous policy. Furthermore it
argues that with the birth of a new policy generation, a
convergence towards meeting the dominant value of that generation
will be noticeable in all policy areas.
