Reviews
"How do we know if policies have failed and in what way? Do we really want to learn, or to bury our heads in the sand? This marvellous collection of insights and case studies tackles the intersection of these issues in innovative and thought-provoking ways." Allan McConnell, University of Sydney
"This book brings together two aspects of policy analysis in interesting and creative ways. Policy learning is often treated as a remedy for policy failures, but we find that learning can have its own pathologies. And failures may be a source of learning and improvement if considered properly. The analytic and empirical work in this book make significant contributions to our understanding of both failure and success in public policy." B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh
