“…This is consistent with narrative accounts which suggest that networks can be dynamic and impermanent (Amin & Roberts, 2008;Araujo, 1998), but is not consistent with leading network governance theories (Bouckaert, Peters andVerhoest 2010, Sorenson andTorfing 2007). The latter are either silent on the question of the actors, or assume that negotiations take place over time between actors of networks, implying at least a measure of stability of network membership.…”

“…The next element pertains to various dimensions of inter-ministerial coordination in public policy-making and this problem is extensively elaborated in policy sciences literature (Bouckaert, Peters and Verhoest, 2010;Metcalfe, 1994;Peters, 2006;. This element of governance primarily includes the potentials of the policy expertise to be applied in a government's inner cabinet or in something that could be dubbed the "prime minister's policy office" (Hamburger, Stevens and Weller, 2011).…”

Purpose: This study is dealing with the application of evidence-based policy-making in Croatian public administration and the general role of applied policy analysis in the Croatian system of governance.Methodology: This development is illustrated by the peculiarities of introducing regulatory impact assessment (RIA) tools in Croatian public administrative structures. Findings:The author is pointing out various limitations in the usage of policy analysis tools in formulating, implementing and evaluating public policies in Croatia. The crucial role of RIA for enhancing executive capacity of governance structures is particularly stressed in the study. The final part of the article is devoted to the prospects of further development of RIA as an applied policy analysis tool within the Croatian system of governance.

“…Two major tools for improving policy coherence are policy integration (OECD 2003a;Underdal 1980) and coordination (Bouckaert et al 2010;Magro et al 2015;OECD 1996). 18 The former can improve policy coherence by enabling a more holistic thinking across different policy sectors, at the same time involving more holistic processes.…”

Abstract:Reaching a better understanding of the policies and politics of transitions presents a main agenda item in the emerging field of sustainability transitions. One important requirement for these transitions, such as the move towards a decarbonized energy system, is the redirection and acceleration of technological change, for which policies play a key role. Several studies of policies supporting environmental technological change have argued for the need to combine different policy instruments in so-called policy mixes. However, existing policy mix studies often fall short of reflecting the complexity and dynamics of actual policy mixes and the underlying politics of (re)designing them. In this paper we take a first step towards a more comprehensive, interdisciplinary policy mix concept for environmental technological change based on a review of the bodies of literature on innovation studies, environmental economics and policy analysis. The concept introduces a clear terminology and consists of the three building blocks elements, processes and characteristics, which can be delineated by several dimensions. Throughout the paper, we illustrate the concept using the example of the policy mix for fostering the transition of the German energy system to renewable power generation technologies. We argue that the proposed concept provides an integrating analytical framework for empirical studies analyzing the impact of the policy mix on environmental technological change and sustainability transitions more broadly. Finally, we derive policy implications and suggest avenues for future research.
