Covid-19 as a Catalyst for Policy Change: The Role of Trigger Points and Spillover Effects
This article understands COVID-19 as an eruptive event with severe effects on many policy fields beyond (public) health. Based on this assumption, we consider the pandemic as a catalyst for policy change across policy fields. For that reason, we suggest a new approach for conceptualising eruptive events as triggers that provoke far-reaching change and spillover effects in fields of policymaking. These are characterised by a complex problem struct…
The lesson learned from Covid-19 and the climate crisis is not to let experts decide on policies: A response to Robert C. Schmidt
This is a response to the commentary by Robert C. Schmidt in this journal, in which the author suggests that for specific problems such as climate change or the current pandemic, decisions on policies should be made by scientific experts rather than by politicians. We argue that such ideas, which were brought up in the late 1960s and reconsidered more recently, do not take sufficient account of the nature of science politics, and their interactio…
Beyond nudge: Advancing the State-of-the-Art of Behavioural Public Policy and Administration
This Special Issue features theoretical, methodological, and empirical advancements of the state-of-the-art in behavioural public policy and administration. In this introduction, we develop a behaviourally-informed, integrated conceptual model of the policy process that embeds individual attitudes and behaviour into context at the meso and macro level. We argue that behavioural approaches can be situated within a broader tradition of methodologic…
Advancing behavioural public policies: In Pursuit of a More Comprehensive Concept
Behavioural public policy is predominantly based on insights from behavioural economics and psychology in order to ‘nudge’ people to act in line with specific aims and to overcome the dilemma of behaviour that contradicts economic rationality. In contrast, we define behavioural public policy as a multi-disciplinary and multi-methodological concept that utilises insights from the whole range of behavioural research. Based on a scoping review and p…
Citizen Behavior and Policy-Making: UK and the US compared
Policy-makers need to view the policy-taker as a multidimensional actor and they need input from scientific evidence. Furthermore, the design of policy instruments is influenced by factors that are inherent to policy processes. Competing interests of different political actors as stakeholders and institutional factors are influencing the search for tools. The article questions conceptually how diverging factors are impacting the way in which poli…
