Cognitive approaches to public policy processes : american perspectives This article first proposes a simple classification of types of policy learning, as well as several criteria for evaluating a variety of theoretical perspectives. It then applies these criteria to a variety of American and European perspectives dealing with cognitive aspects of the policy pro­cess. Much of the American literature, particularly large-N comparative policy studies and ins­titutional rational choice, accord only a minimal role to cognition and learning. At the other extreme are a number of approaches that accord a primordial role to policy ideas. In the process, however, they often neglect institutional and socio-economic factors and aren't clear enough to be falsifiable. In the middle are several theoretical frameworks which attempt both to incorporate cognitive and non-cognitive determinants of public policy processes and to meet traditional scientific criteria of clarity and falsifiability. The paper concludes with several methodological suggestions for improving the study of cognitive processes in public policy-making
