{"product_id":"9781447365938","title":"Policy-Making as Designing : The Added Value of Design Thinking for Public Administration and Public Policy by Arwin van Buuren","description":"The articles on which Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are based are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Design approaches to policy-making have gained increasing popularity among policy makers in recent years.   First published as a special issue of Policy \u0026amp; Politics, this book presents original critical reflections on the value of design approaches and how they relate to the classical idea of public administration as a design science, with a new concluding chapter. Contributors consider the potential, challenges and applications of design approaches and distinguish between three methods currently characterising the discipline: design as optimisation, design as exploration and design as co-creation. Developing the dialogue around public administration as a design science, this collection explores how a more `designerly' way of thinking can improve public administration and public policy.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56300110479733,"sku":"9781447365938","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781447365938.jpg?v=1762787151","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781447365938","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
