Policy Analysis in the Netherlands

By Peter Scholten

This comprehensive study, part of the International Library of Policy Analysis, edited by Iris Geva-May and Michael Howlett, brings together for the first time a systemic overview of policy analysis activities in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is internationally regarded as one of the front-runners of policy analysis and evaluation in Europe. This book provides a much-needed overview of developments in policy analysis in both academia and practice at various levels of governance. It brings together contributions from key scholars as well as from professionals in the field. The book captures the diversity of modes of policy analysis which have evolved since the 1970s. Above all, it provides an overview of the current state of affairs and is, as such, suitable for anyone who is interested in governance and performance.

Features of the ILPA series include:

- a systematic study of policy analysis systems by government and non-governmental actors

- a history of the country's policy analysis, empirical case studies and a comparative overview

- a key reference collection for research and teaching in comparative policy analysis and policy studies
