Making policies work : : first- and second-order mechanisms in policy design / / edited by Giliberto Capano, Michael Howlett, M. Ramesh and Altaf Virani.

Policy design efforts are often hampered by an inadequate understanding of how policy tools and actions promote effective policies. This book addresses this gap by proposing a causal theory of the linkages between policy actions and policy effects. Adopting a mechanistic perspective, it identifies t...
