Designing for policy effectiveness : defining and understanding a concept by Peters, B. Guy, Capano, Giliberto, Howlett, Michael, Mukherjee, Ishani, Chou, Meng-Hsuan, Ravinet, Pauline

“…Past studies have helped clarify the role of historical processes, policy capacities and design intentions in affecting policy formulation processes, and more recently in understanding how the bundling of multiple policy elements together to meet policy goals can be better understood and done. While this work has progressed, however, the discussion of what goals policy designs should serve remains disjointed. …”
