This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY
NC ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online
and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open
access locations. With so much media and political criticism of
their shortcomings and failures, it is easy to overlook the fact
that many governments work pretty well much of the time. Great
Policy Successes turns the spotlight on instances of public policy
that are remarkably successful. It develops a framework for
identifying and assessing policy successes, paying attention not
just to their programmatic outcomes but also to the quality of the
processes by which policies are designed and delivered, the level
of support and legitimacy they attain, and the extent to which
successful performance endures over time. The bulk of the book is
then devoted to 15 detailed case studies of striking policy
successes from around the world, including Singapore's public
health system, Copenhagen and Melbourne's rise from stilted
backwaters to the highly liveable and dynamic urban centres they
are today, Brazil's Bolsa Familia poverty relief scheme, the US's
GI Bill, and Germany's breakthrough labour market reforms of the
2000s. Each case is set in context, its main actors are introduced,
key events and decisions are described, the assessment framework is
applied to gauge the nature and level of its success, key
contributing factors to success are identified, and potential
lessons and future challenges are identified. Purposefully avoiding
the kind of heavy theorizing that characterizes many accounts of
public policy processes, each case is written in an accessible and
narrative style ideally suited for classroom use in conjunction
with mainstream textbooks on public policy design, implementation,
and evaluation.
