THE TOOLS OF POLICY FORMULATION: ACTORS, CAPACITIES, VENUES AND EFFECTS

Book ID/图书代码： 04289515B79596

English Summary/英文概要： Policy analysts are accustomed to thinking in terms of tools and instruments. Yet an authoritative examination of the tools which have been developed to formulate new policies is missing. This book is the first of its kind to distinguish the defining characteristics of the main policy formulation tools, and offer a fresh way of understanding how, why and by whom they are selected, and the effects they produce in practice. The editors bring together eleven specially commissioned chapters that for the first time explore the tools and their features in a comparable fashion, including: scenarios, indicators, computerised models, cost-benefit and multi-criteria analysis. They develop a novel analytical framework for understanding the form and function of the main tools, which encompasses definitions of key terms, a typology, and relevant theoretical explanations. This book will appeal to postgraduate students, scholars and researchers of policy analysis, public policy, decision-making and public management. It will also encourage developers and practitioners of policy formulation tools to reflect critically on their work.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 政策分析师习惯于从工具和方法的角度思考问题，然而，却未曾权威地审视过用于制定新政策的工具。本书是同类书籍中第一本将主要政策制定工具的特点区分开来的书，为读者提供了理解如何选择工具、为何选择、由谁选择及其实际影响的全新视角。书中包括了11章特约章节，首次以比较的形式探讨了工具及其特点。编者开发了一套新颖的分析框架，用于理解主要工具的形式及功能。本书对政策分析、公共政策、决策制定和公共管理领域的研究生、学者和研究员来说有一定的吸引力；此外，也会鼓励政策制定工具的研发者和实践者从批判的角度反思其工作。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：“政策分析领域的发展至少有两条截然不同的轨迹。一条源于美国，强调政策制定阶段，另一条主要源于欧洲，强调政策实施过程。本书探讨了这两条轨迹是如何交汇的。13个章节结合了全球近40名专家的努力，就此话题提供了全新的见解，提出了更加广泛的研究范围。其中对于政策制定工具的探讨及对于参与者、能力、立场及影响的分析为未来的议题构建了框架。”—— Beryl Radin，美国乔治敦大学公共政策学院

“在这本重要的著作中，作者为这一重要、但又被忽略的话题——制定更加有效的政策所需的工具——提供了全新的解读。政策制定者对于使用这些全新的分析技术乐此不彼。编写此书的编者和作者表现地十分出色。”——Peter John，英国伦敦大学学院。

The development of the policy analysis field has had at least two quite different trajectories. One started in the US emphasizing the policy formulation stage while the other developed largely in Europe highlighting the implementation process. This volume indicates how the two paths have intersected. The 13 chapters offer new insights to both groups and draw on a broad span of literatures to explore this topic, with contributions from nearly 40 individuals across the globe. Its discussion of tools of policy formulation as well as the analysis of actors, capacities, venues and effects sets the structure for a future agenda. - Beryl Radin, McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown University, US ’In this important collection, Andrew Jordan and John Turnpenny have thrown new light on an important and neglected topic: the tools needed to make more effective policies. Policy-makers themselves have become ever more engaged in using these new analytical techniques and the service this book performs is to foster a better understanding of them showing the role of the broader political environment. The editors and contributing authors to this well written and engaging book really have done an excellent job.’ - Peter John, University College London, UK
