Policy Issue Networks and the Public Policy Cycle
Public administration has been influenced substantially in recent years by the public policy cycle literature--a fact which is illustrated by the rich contributions of the growing number of policy implementation studies. This research strain can be said to assume a functionalist approach to the discipline. By contrast, another recent strain in the literature, the growing body of policy issue network studies, is nudging the discipline in the direc…
Theory of Strategic Action for Public Policy
Strategic scenarios, concepts that assist business managers in developing market interventions, represent the action component of strategic management. In some fields of public policy (especially national defense and electoral politics) scenarios have been discussed for years. For the most part, however, a theory of action involving specific scenarios has not been given attention by scholars of public policy and administration. In this article, t…

The literature on strategic management for public policy and administration has developed without adequate theoretical grounding in regard to the nature of competition among public agencies, the arenas within which competition occurs, and the resources used in the competitive interactions.

It is concluded that in state government budgeting there are two distinct styles of budgetary decision-making- …

As problem-solving institutions in modern American society, state legislatures hold great potential for developing solutions to the vast array of public policy problems facing our nation. In the public's perception, however, the performance of the 50 legislative bodies has not been impressive. The Citizens Conference on Legislatures observed in 1971 that State legislatures would undoubtedly rank low on most Americans' lists of governmental instit…
