Strategic Interaction, Learning and Policy Evolution: A Synthetic Model

  • Chapter
Policy Implementation in Federal and Unitary Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASID,volume 23))

Abstract

This chapter differs somewhat from preceding chapters. While those offered general overviews and conceptualizations, based for for the most part on the results of current or completed empirical research, an outline is presented here of a research project being developed that consciously seeks to build upon and extend some of the work reported on elsewhere in these proceedings.
