Policy Principles and Practices (New Material and Applications)

Opening Policy Windows ➲ Problem stream ● Defining existing condition as a problem ● Getting policy makers to accept definition ➲ Policy Stream ● Develop consensus around policies necessary to solve problem ➲ Politics stream ● National mood; leading politicians accept gravity of problem and willing to implement necessary policies ● Republicans Get Inconvenient Replies at Climate Hearing Republicans Get Inconvenient Replies at Climate Hearing ● Law on Light Bulb Efficiency Angers Conservatives Law on Light Bulb Efficiency Angers Conservatives ● Focusing events ➲ What does your project focus on?

Problem Stream ➲ What is the conventional and alternative problem definition for economic development in Burlington? ● Food sector? ● Housing sector? ● Transportation sector? The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion. JMK ➲ How do we get policy makers to accept alternative definitions? ● ''even the most practical man of affairs is usually in the thrall of the ideas of some long-dead economist” JMK ● Framing

Policy Stream: Tools ➲ Prescription ➲ Payments ➲ Penalties ➲ Property rights ● Full world vs. empty world ● Types of property rights ➲ Persuasion ➲ Power

Policy Stream: General Design Principles

Every independent policy goal must have an independent policy instrument ➲ Policy goals for project?

Macro control with maximum micro-level freedom/variability ● Examples? ● Penalties ● Payments ● Property rights

Leave a Margin of Error When Dealing with the Biophysical Environment ➲ Examples?

Start from historical conditions ➲ Market system ➲ Existing property rights ● Who owns waste absorption capacity? ➲ Taxation ➲ Public property rights ➲ Government regulation

Adaptive management ➲ Treat policies as scientific experiments ➲ How can this be built into your projects?

Institutions at the scale of the problem (subsidiarity) ➲ Is steady state/350 Burlington at the appropriate scale?

Policy sequence ➲ What do we strive for first in a steady state Burlington?

Politics Stream ➲ Focusing events ➲ National mood ➲ Changing administrations ➲ Getting politicians to accept gravity of problem, implement necessary policies ➲ Relevance to project?

State of the Political Stream

most scientists believe that global warming is occurring, most scientists believe that global warming is not occurring, or most scientists are unsure about whether global warming is occurring or not?

Economics of 350

Why are we failing on the political stream?

How do We Open the Policy Window for a Steady State Economy?
