In recent years, a wave of reforms known as ‘nudges’ or
‘behavioural interventions’ have emerged in public policy and
administration. ‘Nudge’ policies are created to lightly
influence groups in society to change their behaviour, using
behavioural insights to solve complex policy problems. Generally,
behavioural approaches focus on the psychology underlying the
implementation and effects of policies in practice. First published
as a special issue of Policy & Politics journal, this book
situates these reforms within a broader tradition of methodological
individualism. With contributions from international scholars, it
demonstrates that when behavioural policies expand their focus
beyond the individual, they have the potential to better
understand, investigate and shape social outcomes.
Multi-level governance systems like the European Union (EU)
calibrate integration with member state discretion in order to
implement common, yet context-sensitive solutions to shared policy
problems. Research on implementation in the EU typically focuses on
legal compliance with EU policy. However, this focus gives us an
incomplete picture of EU implementation, its diversity and
practice. The contributions of this collection represent a shift
toward a more performance-oriented perspective on EU implementation
as problem-solving. They approach implementation fundamentally as a
process of interpretation of superordinate law by actors who are
embedded within multiple contexts arising from the coexistence of
dynamics of Europeanization, on the one hand, and what has been
termed 'domestication', on the other. Moving beyond legal
compliance, the contributions provide new evidence on the diversity
of domestic responses to EU policy, the roles and motivations of
actors implementing EU policy, and the 'black box' of EU law in
action and its enforcement. By reassessing the relative importance
of EU policy and domestic factors and actors for the outcomes of EU
implementation, the results give insight into on the nuanced
interplay between Europeanization and domestication forces, useful
for both EU researchers and practitioners. The chapters originally
published as a special issue in the Journal of European Public
Policy.
A comprehensive introduction and teaching resource for
state-of-the-art Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) using R
software. This guide facilitates the efficient teaching,
independent learning, and use of QCA with the best available
software, reducing the time and effort required when encountering
not just the logic of a new method, but also new software. With its
applied and practical focus, the book offers a genuinely simple and
intuitive resource for implementing the most complete protocol of
QCA. To make the lives of students, teachers, researchers, and
practitioners as easy as possible, the book includes learning
goals, core points, empirical examples, and tips for good
practices. The freely available online material provides a rich
body of additional resources to aid users in their learning
process. Beyond performing core analyses with the R package QCA,
the book also facilitates a close integration with the R package
SetMethods allowing for a host of additional protocols for building
a more solid and well-rounded QCA.
