| Synopsis: |
Research on policy strategies, instruments and styles incorporates a complex variety of theoretical and conceptual approaches and analytical tools. This work proposes a framework for the field, one that clearly shows how public policy instruments may be classified, packaged and chosen, while highlighting the role that evaluation plays in which instruments are used. The text offers a comprehensive analysis of categories and typologies of policy instruments. It categorizes these as sticks, carrots and sermons - or more specifically, regulation, economic means and information. It also offers readers a comparative perspective on evaluation practice in foreign contexts, with special attention paid to the examples of Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Canada, the USA, and the Republic of Korea. As nations become increasingly interdependent, implementation and evaluation of policy choices made by different nations will become issues of increasing gravity. |
