Title
Policy design for policy coordination
Author
Abstract
The model of policy design that frames this Handbook posits that there are four elements involved in a design: causation, instrumentation, evaluation and intervention. This paper focuses primarily on intervention, or the process of putting policy designs into effect. Inadequate coordination is one of the major barriers to effective intervention, and may make otherwise well-conceived policies perform less well than they might otherwise. This chapter will discuss the barriers to coordination and a number of devices that can be used to enhance coordination, and policy performance. In particular, a great deal of policy design is conducted for a single policy, and is done without reference to the numerous other policies operating within the same policy domain. While often difficult to generate, policy coordination can be approached with a variety of instruments, generally discussed within the three broad categories of hierarchy, markets and networks. This chapter discusses how each of those broad categories of coordination instruments can be linked to design, and to successful coordination.
