Preferred term

policy style  

Definition

  • More than two decades ago, Arnold Heidenheimer posed a fundamental question to comparative policy analysts. He noted that there are many discrete differences in the way in which nations handle the various challenges facing them, but asked to what extent can these habits and experiences be subsumed under consistent national models of policy making (and) are these models applied similarly in most policy areas or do the various sectors develop their own policymaking characteristics? These questions address the issues raised in Theodore J. Lowi's still-seminal 1964 article in which he suggested that different types of policy promote different types of political activity.
