This book is an overview and review of the empirical literature about the effectiveness of the tools of government. These are the choices that are on offer to politicians and other policy-makers when they want to change policy outcomes, whether it is economic growth, environmental degradation, or poverty. The idea is that politicians can choose to concentrate on one set of tools, partly out of convenience and fashion, but may fail to see the costs as well as the benefits - and may not know the research evidence about their effectiveness. It divides the tools into eight and each one forms a chapter of the book: Finance (more money to address problems)Law and Regulation (the use of rules to regulate behaviour)Information and Symbols (ideas and information to inspire changes in behaviour)Public Management (reforming the organisations of government)Decentralisation and Markets (offloading problems onto other actors) Networks and Governance (using nodality and coordination to address collective action problems)Social Capital (tapping and encouraging the use of social resources). Each chapter pays particular attention to robust research evidence, particularly quantitative studies (these methods are explained in an easy-to-read appendix). Several policy areas are compared and the evidence mainly comes from the US, the UK and other European countries. The conclusion addresses the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches, suggesting that particular combinations may be effective in certain circumstances. Media > Book, [PU: Routledge]<

Many tools are on offer to politicians and other policy-makers when they seek to change policy outcomes. Often they choose to concentrate on one set of tools, but fail to see the costs as well as the benefits - and may not consider the available evidence regarding their effectiveness. This innovative new textbook clearly sets out the main tools of government, and provides an analysis of their efficacy when applied to public problems. Each chapter examines the relative benefits and costs of using a key tool that is available to improve policy outcomes, drawing on a diverse literature, a large number of empirical studies and a range of contexts. Areas covered include: governments and policy outcomeslaw and regulation public spending and taxation bureaucracy and public management institutionsinformation, persuasion and deliberation networks and governance. Offering a clear and comprehensive evaluation, and highlighting the set of powerful tools commonly available, this text encourages students to consider the most effective combination in order to manage key issues successfully. Including a useful glossary of key terms, this book will be of great interest to all students of public policy, administration and management. ; Social Sciences, Routledge<
