Working for policy
No full textThere are now many people involved in 'making policy', but there is not a great deal written about how they do it. Most of the books on policy tend to refer obliquely, if at all, to the actual practice of policy work, and offer little guidance to policy workers or students of policy. 'Policy work' seems to be something that you learn on the job. This book addresses directly the nature of policy work. It blends academic and experiential knowledge of the policy process in describing, analysing and evaluating what modern policy workers do in particular situations, and why is that the appropriate thing to do, how it contributes to the policy process, what impact it has, and what can we learn from this about the skills and knowledge required for policy work in complex modern societies.

12 The Lessons for Policy Work / Hal Colebatch, Robert Hoppe and Mirko NoordegraafWorking for Policy brengt verhalen van ervaringsdeskundigen en wetenschappelijk onderzoekers samen in de beschrijving en analyse van hoe hedendaags beleidswerk verschilt van traditionele theorie en beleidsanalyse. Het boek biedt beschrijvingen, analyses en beoordelingen van wat hedendaagse beleidsmakers feitelijk doen in bepaalde situaties, waarom zij dat als juist zien en wat ze precies bijdragen aan beleidsactiviteiten. Daarnaast komt aan de orde welk effect dit heeft en wat we daarvan kunnen leren over de kennis, vaardigheden en competenties die gevergd worden in beleidswerk onder condities van 'governance'

Understanding Policy Work
No full text‘Policy’ has become one of the central ways in how we talk about government, presenting the process of government as a pattern of systematic action oriented to particular collective concerns. It is a central concept in a narrative of governing in authoritative and instrumental terms: Governments recognize problems and make decisions to bring public authority and resources to bear upon these problems, with ‘policy’ as the expression of these decisions. As we will see, this perspective embodies questions and puzzles for both practitioners and observers, but it occupies centre stage, constituting a framework within which policy concerns are discussed
