Just spent the last few days with leading scholars of policy implementation in a doctoral seminar sponsored by the University of Bergen (Norway) and the French-Norweign Center for Social Sciences. It was entitled Studying Public Policy Implementation in an Era of Governance and provided an opportunity for Peter May, Peter Hupe, Soren Winter, and Harald Saetren to come together and exchange our views and perspectives about policy implementation research. In this regard, I realize how the approach Stephanie Moulton and I have taken in this book is fairly radical. Not only do we orient our writing to people doing implementation but we bring in a conceptual framework that highlights the dynamics of complex systems.
