“…For example, there may be redundant elements in policy mixes that might a priori seem dysfunctional or inefficient but actually enhance resilience and adaptation (Bali et al, 2019; Howlett et al, 2018). Equally, longitudinal changes in policy tool configurations due to intentional sequencing or natural selection, layering, and replacement may reduce the effectiveness of a policy mix (Capano & Howlett, 2020; Howlett, 2017, 2019b; Virani, 2019; Virani & Ramesh, 2019). There is need, therefore, for systematically analyzing how the composition of policy mixes impacts policy performance.…”
