Description

In an era where a crisis of governance is widespread in western societies, practitioners in public administration face a complex web of personal and organizational inter-dependencies. This book by Routledge provides a deep look into how these systems function and why they sometimes fail. Understanding Policy Fiascoes applies rigorous policy analysis to help readers come to terms with policy failures while maintaining a full appreciation of the limits of such analysis. Rather than viewing policy failures as universal constants, the authors present them as social, political, and academic constructions. Authors Bovens and 'tHart trace the specific processes of how and why certain episodes of public policymaking receive the label of a fiasco. This text is an essential resource for those studying economic policy, development, and the complexities of modern governance and public administration.
