“…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.…”

“…They also include incentives and subsidies to encourage the private sector to develop such projects. From a public interest perspective, however, these projects have been mostly unsuccessful, frequently exhibiting perverse behavior, breach of agreement, and reduced public accountability (Bisht & Virani, 2016; Virani & Ramesh, 2019). These have been attributed to an ineffective governance system, with the government missing key policy tools—particularly procedural ones—to effectively manage PPP arrangements (Table 3).…”

“…Recent literature on policy mechanisms suggests that for policies to be effective, policymakers must consider the different mechanisms that policy instruments might activate, and create designs that can leverage them to maximize social gains and attenuate unintended effects (Capano, Howlett, and Ramesh 2019). Failure to recognize the different behavioral responses triggered by activating instruments and reverse engineer suitable designs to elicit required behavioral change can result in policy failure (Virani and Ramesh 2019;Weaver 2019). However, a more basic failure arises from ambiguity on the end goals of policy, which makes it impossible to work backwards to evolve suitable designs (Howlett 2019).…”
