Social science mandarins: Policymaking as a political formulaPolicy Sciences - Tập 1 - Trang 339-360 - 1970
Irving Louis Horowitz
This article strongly suggests that the customary sequence of events starting with science and terminating with policy-making lacks empirical confirmation; that in fact, the actual sequence of events is primarily determined by policy stances and terminates with some form of scientific investigation, geared however to legitimation rather than explanation. Four empirical case studies are examined: B...... hiện toàn bộ
Evidencing the benefits of cluster policies: towards a generalised framework of effectsPolicy Sciences - Tập 55 - Trang 369-391 - 2022
James Wilson, Emily Wise, Madeline Smith
Regions around the world employ cluster-based policies as part of their industrial, innovation and development policy mixes. They have become a key tool in smart specialisation strategies and are increasingly used to address societal challenges. Given their popularity and longevity, there is significant demand to better measure and understand the impacts of cluster policies. Yet the diversity of c...... hiện toàn bộ
Neutrality and advocacy in policy researchPolicy Sciences - Tập 6 - Trang 107-119 - 1975
Harold Orlans
The naive scientism which has dominated federal policy research and most policy research institutes has become a self-blinding dogma, an armchair philosophy which fabricates and distorts reality and has failed at its task of understanding our social and economic problems. Broader approaches are needed which do not artificially isolate and arbitrarily quantify selected factors but examine them in t...... hiện toàn bộ

The politics of denial: the use of funding penalties as an implementation device for social policyPolicy Sciences - Tập 20 - Trang 307-337 - 1987
Ronald F. King
The standard literature on implementation offers a number of variables usually associated with successful policy-making.50 Roughly, the variables can be sorted into three broad categories: the nature of the problem to be solved, the causal theory for problem solution embodied in the statute, and the execution of that statutory solution in practice. These categories will supply a framework helpful ...... hiện toàn bộ
Freeing money: Why have states been more willing to liberalize capital controls than trade barriers?Policy Sciences - Tập 27 - Trang 299-318 - 1994
Eric Helleiner
This article investigates why advanced industrial states have chosen to dismantle their postwar capital controls during a period — the 1970s and 1980s — when they became less enthusiastic about eliminating trade restrictions. Four explanations are presented. First, the unique mobility and fungibility of money was important in both encouraging competitive deregulation pressures and making the contr...... hiện toàn bộ
