| Summary |
In this new account of the policy making process, the focus is upon the regular and routine practices which link policy actors together. A framework for policy analysis is developed using the idea that policy systems develop out of particular forms of material and intellectual interdependence between actors. The central roles of actor networks, experts and managers are explained and evaluated. The book asks how these structures and routines may sometimes be turned towards innovation and forms of systemic change, and how political institutions may help and hinder this innovative capacity |
