Elements of Policy Design Birkland, T.A. (2005) An Introduction to the Policy Process, 2nd ed. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe., p. 160) ElementQuestions to ask GoalsWhat are the goals of the policy? To eliminate a problem? To alleviate a problem but not entirely eliminate it? To keep a problem from getting worse? Causal modelWhat is the causal model? Do we know that, if we do X, Y will result? How do we know this? If we don’t know, how can we find out? ToolsWhat tools or instruments will be used to put the policy into effect? Will they be more or less coercive? Will they rely more on incentives, persuasion, or information? Capacity building? TargetsWhose behavior is supposed to change? Are there direct and indirect targets? Are design choices predicated on our social construction of the target population? ImplementationHow will the program be implemented? Who will lay out the implementation system? Will a top-down or bottom-up design be selected? Why?
