Abstract

The main objective of public policy-making process is the formulation of a solution to the problems of the society. These solutions need to be operational and able to guide different actors involved in various stages of public policy; they also should engage specific, sustainable, realistic, and time-limited measures. In traditional public policy models, policy formulation is the stage before policy-making. This phase involves identifying and/or creating a set of policy alternatives to address a problem and reduce the number of possible solutions involved in preparing the final policy decision.

One of the basic concepts related to policy formulation is policy design. Policy formulation and policy design processes have a decisive influence on the results of implementation. In fact, the limited amount of human cognition and interest, as well as our limited knowledge of the social world, inevitably causes policy-makers to focus on some aspects of the problem and ignore some others. After switching to presidential system, Turkey took some steps in creating a policy formulation and design bureaucracy populated by policy professionals. In particular, innovation policies provide an interesting example of policy formulation and design.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Fischer (2000) argues that technocrats and elites who hold knowledge jeopardize democracy. See also Fischer 1990.

  2. 2.

    Darüşşafaka is the foundation of a secondary school for orphans founded in 1863. It is the first civil society organization of Turkey in the field of education.

  3. 3.

    In the public policy literature, the 1970s are referred to as a “decade of failure” especially for the USA and the UK. Many examples such as the energy crisis and the subsequent economic crisis, the empty-handed withdrawal from Vietnam and the failure of the welfare state are shown as examples. These failures were presented as the rationale for the change in the public administration paradigm (transition to public management) that began at the end of the same decade.

  4. 4.

    However, in order to decide whether one action is more rational than the other, observers need to agree on the objectives in question and their respective assumptions of reality. They also need to agree on the consequences of certain types of action reaching the target in the context of this assumed reality. The authors have tried to explain this with the example of a person trying to warm up in the fire: “If a person is cold and wants to warm up, it is a rational choice to stand a few steps away from the fire… almost every adult in the world will agree that it is irrational to jump into the fire or to get away from it. In fact, assuming that we can’t get enough evidence about people’s reactions, most people will probably agree exactly where to stand. Nevertheless, any individual who wants to warm up to different degrees can identify a more rational and slightly different point for him” (Dahl and Lindblom 1953: 38–39).

  5. 5.

    See for example Mazey and Richardson 2006; Heinz et al. 1993; Jordan and Schubert 1992; Sutton 1999; Knoke 2011; Browne 1990.

  6. 6.

    Such arguments had a significant impact on policy design research. Changes in forms of governance have differentiated the ability of various public and private actors to play a role in policy formulation discussions and decisions. In addition, there have been important changes in the types of policy instruments selected to implement public policy. All of these are the issues at the center of policy design. See March and Olsen 1996; Offe and Preuss 2006; Weaver and Rockman 1993; Scharpf 1991).

  7. 7.

    This issue will be examined in detail in the section titled “Deliberation in public policy.”

  8. 8.

    Dialogical action is a concept that refers to the skills to be used in the event of a communication problem. Accordingly, there are four possible acts in communication: action (starting the interview, making an offer), monitoring (accepting and continuing accordingly), opposing (rejecting an offer), and observing.

  9. 9.

    There is extensive literature on the concept of deliberative democracy. Reader can look at the following selection: Franz and Kirkpatrick 2008; Elster 1998; Bohman 1997; Gutmann and Thompson 2009; Fishkin and Laslett 2008.

  10. 10.

    Hanson (2001) and Holl et al. (1994) present important findings about the relationship between architecture and intuition.

  11. 11.

    According to Robinson (2005), CNN is representative of this situation. See also Aminy 2002; Haas 2008.

  12. 12.

    See Hirst and Thompson 1995; Higgott and Payne 2000; Josselin and Wallace 2001; Arts 2003.

  13. 13.

    For a useful discussion on the relationship between the concept of “invisible hand” and policy design, see Lake and Baum 2001.

  14. 14.

    For example, how the policy consultancy system is structured in a particular sector gives an idea about the effective actors involved in design decisions (Howlett 2014: 195).

  15. 15.

    See Craft and Howlett 2012; Howlett and Migone 2013; Page and Shapiro 2010. On the advantages of offering policy advice from a single center, see Mitchell 2005.

  16. 16.

    Provincial governors in Turkey, who benefit from decentralized authorities, can be given as example to this phenomenon.

  17. 17.

    See Ward et al. (2012) for an examination of the concept of knowledge brokers in the health sector. The author underlines the role played by knowledge brokers to translate research results into policy and practice.

  18. 18.

    On key policy actors, see Ingraham 1987; George 1969; Stedman 2004; Gormley 2007; Kehoe and Ponting 2003; Ball et al. 2011.

  19. 19.

    Policy paradigms are discussed below.

  20. 20.

    Limitations will be discussed below under the heading “bounded rationality.”

  21. 21.

    When we ask the students to prepare homework on any subject, we expect them to determine the subject in general terms and then to “narrow it down”. Is there a policy formulation process that operates in our subconscious?

  22. 22.

    Impact analysis, which will be discussed below, is one of the instruments developed to minimize policy failures.

  23. 23.

    “Muddling through” is a concept that Lindblom refers to in his several works. See Lindblom 1969, 1979, 2018.

  24. 24.

    One of the relatively new concepts used to express the effects of organizational experiences on decision-making processes is “path dependence.” For more information about this concept, see Sydow et al. 2009; Greener 2005; Ebbinghaus 2002; Pierson 2000.

  25. 25.

    For more information on constraints on rationality, the reader may want to refer to the following sources: Maley 2000; Haas 2008; Eichbaum and Shaw 2008; Dunlop 2009; Lindvall 2009.

  26. 26.

    The types of policy change that Hall identified relate primarily to economic policies, but in general it can be considered to apply to all public policies.

  27. 27.

    One of the issues emphasized by Hall is that the first two types of policy changes do not necessarily lead to the third type of policy change over time; although the first two types of policy changes may be relatively interrelated, the policy change (third type) that leads to paradigm shift is a different process in itself (Hall 1993: 280).

  28. 28.

    Wildavsky (1969) and Mushkin (1977) provide detailed information on this subject.

  29. 29.

    It should be noted that the organization-method school was dominant in Turkey during this period.

  30. 30.

    At the time, PPBS (programming, planning, and budgeting system), which was a major discussion topic in the USA, was criticized by Dror. He claimed that the system, which was brought up as an advanced policy analysis method, had serious shortcomings. Instead, it was necessary to use a more advanced type of professional information that could improve public decision-making processes further (1967: 199–200).

  31. 31.

    For modeling in general, see Miller and Guria 1991; Sokolowski and Banks 2011. On energy policy modeling, see Pandey 2002. For modeling of agricultural policy, see Buysse et al. (2007). For monetary policy modeling, see Martin and Milas 2004.

  32. 32.

    As an example of the studies examining policy professionals working in various sectors, especially education and health, on this subject, Boyd 1976; Friend and Cook 1992; and Beaumont 2003 can be given as examples.

  33. 33.

    Among the authors who emphasized this issue are Lasswell and McDougal 1943; Darling-Hammond and McLaughlin 1995; Darling-Hammond 1989 (in the field of education); Clarke 1999 (in the field of health and social care) and Bardach and Patashnik 2015 (in general).

  34. 34.

    United Kingdom and Canada emerge as the most advanced examples of the practice of establishing institutions that provide professional support to the central government in policy-making.

  35. 35.

    Geva-May (2005: 277) revealed that the process was partly due to the emergence of public policy graduate programs and the development of a specialized training and certification practice, especially in the USA and Canada in the 1960s. It is remarkable that this process is similar to cameral sciences.

    One of the methods used to determine what matters is “impact assessment,” which will be discussed below.

  47. 47.

    Kay explains the relationship between evolutionist epistemology and evidence-based policy-making as follows: “The search for what works assumes that politics must be developed in an evolutionary way and that there are strong limitations… on a universal rationality in policy-making. Indeed, myopia and random change or the importance of designed experiments are concepts at the core of evolutionist theory; this is what distinguishes it from other policy models, or other models in social sciences” (Kay 2006: 51). For a comprehensive bibliography on evolutionist epistemology, see Campbell et al. 1987.

  48. 48.

    In 2000, David Blunkett, then Minister of Education, said in a speech to the ESRC: “Social science research is central to policy development and evaluation… We need social science and social scientists to tell us what works and what types of policy initiatives will be most effective” (Young et al. 2002: 215).

  49. 49.

    The “Modernizing Government” initiative started with the White Paper published by the Cabinet Office (1999a), declaring that “policy decisions should be based on sound evidence.”

  50. 50.

    As a left party, the Labor Party’s continuance with public administration reforms initiated by the previous Conservative Party has been subject to severe criticism.

  51. 51.

    Founded in 2013, What Works Network was established within the Economic and Social Research Council, which is a government unit. Members of the network include the National Institute of Excellence in Health and Care, the Early Intervention Foundation, What Works Center for Local Economic Growth, What Works Scotland, the Education Donation Foundation, the Police College, What Works Center for Well-being, the Better Aging Center, and the Welsh Public Policy Institute. See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-works-network

  52. 52.

    Society Volunteers, Purple Roof Women’s Shelter, AIESEC Turkey, and the Turkish foundation for combating erosion reforestation and the protection of natural habitats (TEMA) are among the most well-known civil initiatives that promote evidence-based policy-making.

  53. 53.

    TÜİK is short for Turkish Statistical Institute and ADNKS is short for Address-Based Census Registry System.

  54. 54.

    These abbreviations stand for Programme for International Student Assessment, Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, Level Identification Exam, Student Selection Exam, and Student Achievement Identification Exam, respectively.

  55. 55.

    The concept of “managing by measuring” is defined as the search for “objective” indicators as the basis of initiating and evaluating political actions. See Noordegraaf and Abma 2003.

  56. 56.

    However, some “interpretive” authors (e.g., Fischer 2003; Stone 2001; Yanow 2000) argue that policy-making is not a simple process that involves choosing tools based solely on academic research. According to these authors, policy-making takes place in an interactive, discursive, and deliberative area. Academic research is just one of the “valid meaning frameworks.” Therefore, policymakers may experience uncertainty about where research is useful (Williams 2010: 197).

  57. 57.

    One of the most important advocates of this view, Huberman (1990, 1994) examined the effect of postmodern approach on research in the field of education. He argued that combining researchers’ findings with practitioners’ experience would increase the validity of the data they obtain.

  58. 58.

    For a discussion that the concept of “coordination” refers to short-term outcomes, not the process itself, see Stein 1982; Van Huyck et al. 1990; Gauthier 1975.

  59. 59.

    The classical progressive public policy approach addresses this activity under the heading of “ongoing evaluation.”

  60. 60.

    Pratchett (1999), Leroux et al. (1998), O’Hara (1998), Beierle (1999) conducted detailed studies on these methods. For a more detailed assessment of the aforementioned studies, see Abelson et al. (2003).

  68. 68.

    Most of the tools listed are interchangeable and contain more or less similar content; three of them (deliberative forums, deliberative surveys and citizen juries), which are the most emphasized in the literature and have relatively more distinctive features, will be discussed in this section.

  69. 69.

    According to Mutz, the most important challenge in making cause-effect inferences about the deliberation power of deliberative surveys is the manipulation of several independent variables simultaneously. For example, explanatory materials are sent to those who agree to participate. During the study, they also obtain information from experts and politicians. As a result, it can be difficult to identify whether the benefits determined by the person come from information obtained from the political elite, the materials previously distributed by the organizers, or the deliberations among the participants at the weekend meeting (Mutz 2006: 58–59).

  70. 70.

    Fung (2006) cites citizen juries as an example of the Twenty-First Century Urban Meetings developed by an organization called America Speaks. Thousands of citizens attend these meetings and carry out innovative uses of technology. See http://www.americaspeaks.org/

  71. 71.

    The jury method was developed by Ned Crosby, who promotes and organizes juries on state-level agriculture, water and social policies in the USA, and health reform, federal budget and candidate scores at the federal level (Abelson et al. 2003: 242). Also see https://nedcrosby.org/

  72. 72.

    Planning cells in Germany receive official support from government and public institutions. For example, a Research Institute for Citizen Participation was established using public resources. The aim of the Institute is to contribute to policy making processes in areas such as local planning, national energy, technology and communication (Smith and Wales 1999). In planning cells, deliberation occurs among about 25 randomly selected citizens who meet several times. The results are announced to the sponsors, the media and other relevant groups. At the end of the process, the sponsor must agree to pay attention to the decisions made by the planning cell (Abelson et al. 2003: 242).
