The book is structured into a series of sections on policy capacity in theory and practice, each focusing on a specific aspect of policy capacity and its influence on policy formulation, decision-making, implementation and evaluation. In addition to making a significant contribution to the body of literature on the theoretical approaches to researching the role of capacity in policymaking, it also provides practical examples of the application of these approaches through a variety of national and sectoral case studies. Including contributions from authors working in a wide variety of disciplines, the book demonstrates, across the various topics investigated, many commonalities and consistencies in relation to the study of policy capacity and policy-making. This work has interdisciplinary appeal and will engage scholars in fields ranging from geography to communications, health, social work and political science, amongst others with an interest in public policy. 410 0$aStudies in the Political Economy of Public Policy,$x2524-745X 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a320.6 702 $aWu$b Xun$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHowlett$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRamesh$b M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300498503321 996 $aPolicy Capacity and Governance$92041848 997 $aUNINA
