Making sense of the U.S. Covid-19 pandemic response: A policy regime perspective
On March 26, 2020, 3 months after Chinese authorities admitted to a novel coronavirus outbreak and 10 weeks after the first infection was documented on American soil, the U.S. led the world in COVID-19 cases. While the State Department touted the U.S. as "leading the world's humanitarian and health assistance response to the COVID-19 pandemic," media accounts more often applied terms like "muddled" and "confused." In this essay, we step back to c…
Issue expertise in policymaking
In considering issue expertise in policymaking, we unpack differences in the supply and types of expertise with attention to the presumed privileged role of the bureaucracy. Our empirical investigation is based on witness testimonies of congressional hearings for a policy area involving various forms of expertise – critical infrastructure protection policymaking. Three sets of findings stand out. One set substantiates the role of the bureaucracy …
Implementation failures revisited: Policy regime perspectives
The cataloging of failures when putting policies in place has been the hallmark of implementation studies since the 1970s. The numerous lessons from this research can be distilled into guidance about improving policy design to enhance implementation prospects and other suggestions for overcoming administrative obstacles. This contribution extends these lessons by addressing how the governing arrangements for addressing policy problems—the policy …
Policy Regime Perspectives: Policies, Politics, and Governing
We call on policy scholars to take seriously the role of policies as governing instruments and to consider more fully the factors that shape their political impacts. We suggest that the lens provided by regime perspectives is a useful way for advancing the understanding of these considerations. As a descriptive undertaking, the regime lens can be used to construct a conceptual map that considers the constellation of ideas, institutional arrangeme…
Addressing Public Risks: Extreme Events and Critical Infrastructures
We consider noncoercive means for harnessing the efforts of the private sector as partners with public authorities for addressing potential harms from widely dispersed risks. Our focus is the public and private sector approach in theUnitedStates to protecting the nation's critical infrastructures. We empirically address how two key elements of this approach-mobilization of attention and planning partnerships-work to foster "communities of interes…
Performance-based Regulation
Constructing Homeland Security: An Anemic Policy Regime
This research addresses the strength of the homeland security policy regime that was constructed after the terrorist attacks of September 2001. We argue that homeland security provides a preeminent example of the challenges of developing policy regimes that focus policymaking on a common goal across diverse subsystems. All the ingredients for fashioning a powerful regime were in place after the terrorist attacks of September 2001—a common purpose…
Beyond Subsystems: Policy Regimes and Governance
We suggest attention to policy regimes provides a fruitful means for joining the contributions of scholars who study policy processes with those who are concerned with governance challenges. Our research synthesis underscores the limits of existing theorizing about policy processes for problems that span multiple areas of policy and highlights the prospects for and limitations of governing beyond the boundaries of subsystems. We suggest new avenu…
Widespread Policy Disruption and Interest Mobilization
We consider the involvement of different interests in policymaking following disruptions that affect the agendas of multiple subsystems. The policy process literature suggests that increased policy uncertainty and jurisdictional ambiguity could lead to substantial upheavals in interest involvement. We address these possibilities in studying the mobilization of different interests after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, for eight disrup…
Widespread Policy Disruption: Terrorism, Public Risks, and Homeland Security
We address theoretical and empirical aspects of policy disruptions that affect multiple areas of policymaking. Our theorizing leads us to consider the effects of widespread disruptions in gaining the attention of elected officials, in affecting policymaking, and in reshaping the involvement of federal agencies. Our empirical analyses concern the threat of terrorism in the United States and its implications for public risk subsystems over the past…
Hurricane Katrina: Social Science Perspectives
Regulatory regimes and accountability
This research considers accountability issues for new forms of regulation that shift the emphasis from prescribing actions to regulating systems or regulating for results. Shortfalls at various levels of accountability are identified from experiences with these regimes in the regulation of building and fire safety, food safety and nuclear power plant safety. These experiences illustrate how accountability shortfalls can undermine regulatory perfo…
State Environmental Policies: Analyzing Green Building Mandates
This research addresses state requirements that public facilities be constructed as "green buildings" that promote environmental friendly, energy efficient, and healthy workplaces. We consider state choices to adopt green building mandates and the form of their policy enactment. In considering the way that low salience issues like green buildings get on state agendas and the circumstances under which governors decide to engage the issue, we exten…
Policy Coherence and Policy Domains
Policy scholars generally agree that greater coherence of policies is desirable, but the concept is under‐theorized and has received little empirical examination. This research examines the policy coherence of 18 policy domains and considers institutional factors that affect variation among them. There is considerable variation in coherence among substantive, regional, and identity‐based policy domains. Greater degrees of policy coherence exist f…
Regional Policy Agglomeration: Arctic Policy in Canada and the United States
Regional policies addressing urban policy, rural policy and policies with specific regional targets tend to evolve from the consideration of disparate issues that impact the designated region rather than as co-ordinated strategies. We label this aggregation of disparate policies as policy agglomeration. We examine this phenomenon for domestic aspects of Arctic policies in Canada and the United States. Arctic policy in each setting is comprised of…
Regulation and Compliance Motivations: Examining Different Approaches
This research examines how traditional regulatory and voluntary approaches affect motivations to address potential harms to water quality. The traditional approach consists of governmental enforcement of mandatory requirements; the voluntary approach consists of government calling attention to potential harms and facilitating actions to address them. These approaches are best thought of as ends of a continuum rather than as the sole choices. Thre…
Policy Coherence and Component‐Driven Policymaking: Arctic Policy in Canada and the United States
This research extends theorizing about the implications of political environments to the content of policy areas. We consider the case of Arctic policy in Canada and the United States as an example of what we label as component‐driven policymaking. We show how the lack of a clear constituency and the lack of a stable policy subsystem for the Arctic create a policy environment for which the politics of particular issues dominate Arctic policymakin…
Compliance Motivations: Perspectives of Farmers, Homebuilders, and Marine Facilities
This paper addresses the role of differing regulatory contexts in shaping compliance motivations. These are examined for farmers and environmental regulation in Denmark, homebuilders and building safety in the United States, and marine facilities and water quality in the United States. The findings show that the influence of different regulatory practices and the relevance of normative and social considerations differ among these regulatory conte…
Compliance Motivations: Affirmative and Negative Bases
This research addresses affirmative and negative motivations for compliance with social and environmental regulations. Affirmative motivations emanate from good intentions and a sense of obligation to comply. Negative motivations arise from fears of the consequences of being found in violation of regulatory requirements. The relevance of these is examined for data concerning the motivations of homebuilders to comply with requirements of building …
Performance‐Based Regulation and Regulatory Regimes: The Saga of Leaky Buildings
Regulatory reformers have widely endorsed greater use of a performance‐based approach to regulation that defines objectives in terms of desired outcomes. The appeal of the performance‐based approach is as much about introducing a regime that overcomes problems of overly rigid rules and inflexible enforcement as it is about regulating for results. The case of leaky buildings in New Zealand provides a cautionary tale of a flawed performance‐based r…
Information, interests, and environmental regulation
This study contributes to the understanding of informational approaches to bringing about compliance with environmental regulations with particular attention to differences in the influence of information provided by different information sources. Based on theorizing from a combination of information processing and interest group literatures, we develop hypotheses about regulatees’ reliance upon and the influence of different sources of informati…
Beyond Machiavelli: Policy Analysis Comes of Age . Beryl A. Radin
Constructing the Prospectus
I am struck by how similar the process of constructing a prospectus is to developing plans for a new house. One starts with a desired plot of land and an uncertain vision of an eventual home. The plot of land is terrain to exploit. The vision is of something to be comfortable with and, ideally, something of which to be proud. Getting there, however, is a very bewildering process. An architectural plan and specifications serve as the blueprint—the…
Motivation for Compliance with Environmental Regulations
Motivation for Compliance with Environmental Regulations
A combination of calculated, normative, and social motivations as well as awareness of rules and capacity to comply are thought to foster compliance with regulations. Hypotheses about these factors were tested with data concerning Danish farmers' compliance with agro‐environmental regulations. Three key findings emerge: that farmers' awareness of rules plays a critical role; that normative and social motivations are as influential as calculated m…
Policy Learning and Failure
Multiple knowledges are available for utilisation in policy choice. The rank ordering of knowledges for use in decisionmaking is thus a fundamental predecision. This article shows how this predecision necessarily constrains the processes associated with a politics of ideas, using cases from American international commodity policy. Even when the supposed preconditions of this sort of politics are present, policy change did not occur when the propo…

Reconsidering Policy Design: Policies and Publics
One of the emerging areas in the public policy literature concerns new modes of thought about the construction and analysis of public policy. This article extends notions about politics within the ‘policy design’ literature by considering the implications of different political environments for policy design and implementation. Two different political environments – policies with and without publics – that form ends of a continuum of policy publi…

Mandate Design and Implementation: Enhancing Implementation Efforts and Shaping Regulatory Styles
This research addresses the influence of mandate design upon implementation efforts and regulatory styles. Empirical analyses of these relationships are conducted for state-level land-use and development-management mandates enacted by California, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington. Three key findings provide insights about the role of mandate design in facilitating policy implementation. First, implementation efforts are more easily i…

Politics and Policy Analysis
When it comes to assessing the relevance of political science to public policy, the discipline seems to have an identity crisis. Within the literature and at conference panels it has become fashionable to stress the limitations of political science insights for guiding policy making. ' Nonetheless, as indicated by the growing importance of public policy studies and policy analysis within the discipline, there is substantial interest in making the…
Can Cooperation Be Mandated? Implementing Intergovernmental Environmental Management in New South Wales and New Zealand
Various forces have led to new thinking about approaches to intergovernmental regulation, emphasizing a shift from the heavy hand of coercive mandates to more cooperative approaches. This research examines the implementation of cooperative policies addressing aspects of environmental management in New South Wales, Australia, and in New Zealand. Analyses are undertaken of the cooperative policy designs, government agencies' implementation efforts …
Addressing Public Risks: Federal Earthquake Policy Design
This article considers the design of federal earthquake policy as an illustration of the difficulties of addressing “public risks” when public indifference, despite general awareness of the risks, is the norm. The present federal earthquake policy attempts to overcome this indifference through strategies aimed at building local governmental commitment to risk reduction and improving nonfederal capacity to implement risk reduction programs. Becaus…

Formulating Disaster Relief When Needs Are Unknown
As in most cases of natural disasters, relief needs arising out of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruptions in May 1980 were greatly overestimated. Technical, bureaucratic, and political considerations all contribute to the upward bias in such cases. The errors in early estimates of relief needs can be reduced by systematic means. But more important than obtaining good early estimates is maintaining an effective control over actual disaster relief…

Fema's Role in Emergency Management: Examining Recent Experience
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created by presidential executive order in 1979 as the lead agency in federal emergency management efforts. Prior to FEMA's creation, there had been considerable disarray in federal emergency management activities which was attributed to a lack of centralized direction and control. In seeking a means of correcting the many problems, there was strong agreement within the Carter administration, Con…

Regulatory Policy Design: Cooperative Versus Deterrent Mandates
Two forms of regulatory policy design—“cooperative” and “deterrent” designs—are considered in the context of intergovernmental regulation of floodplains. Both types of design entail efforts by higher‐level governments to induce local‐level regulatory efforts. However, the approaches differ in terms of their underlying philosophies and in the extent to which they address local regulatory commitment and capacity. The contrast between the United Sta…

Coercive versus cooperative policies: Comparing intergovernmental mandate performance
Cooperative policies hold out promise of an improvement over coercive mandates as ways to enhance implementation of intergovernmental programs. By treating subordinate governments as regulatory trustees and emphasizing substantive compliance, the cooperative mandates avoid the onerous aspects of heavy-handed regulatory federalism. Our comparison of state hazard-mitigation policy in Florida and in New South Wales, Australia addresses procedural an…
