Why is it important?
This paper makes a case for the development of a 'guiding framework' for strategic policy development and/or evaluation. The intention being to at the least decipher which policies are serious attempts at national reform agendas as opposed to simply communicating a governments thinking or testing public appetitie for a possible reform.
Perspectives
Government approaches to the development of poicies in relation to wicked or complex problems tend to over simplify the nature of the problem. In so doing, the policy solution tends to be in effective because it assumes a linear, technical fix to what essentially is a problem that has many moving parts and interactions.
