What do we mean by policy? Government action Linking of decisions Intervention – political power
![Page 3: Complexity in Public Policy: Metaphors and Methods Philip Haynes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551aa42a55034656628b4804/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What do we mean by policy? Implementation – management,
professionalism… Multidisciplinary

Policy Process Policy as a rational process

Many perspectives on policy

Making sense of it all?
Patterns Time and Space

Patterns
Action over time - policy trends
Spatial levels - global, national, local, organisation, team…

Complexity Theory Complex dynamic systems are constructed by
the interaction of instability and stability. Includes chaos theory, but goes beyond it
Instability
Stability
Edge of Chaos

Complex or complicated?

Some core metaphors1. Instability (chaos)2. Nested systems 3. Attractors (order in disorder)4. Interaction (not cause and effect)5. Self organisation (order from within)

Methods
How we can make sense of such complexity?
![Page 32: Complexity in Public Policy: Metaphors and Methods Philip Haynes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551aa42a55034656628b4804/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
‘We maybe able to able to learn a lot about the kind of dynamics involved in the functioning of such systems…Complexity theory underscores the importance of contingent factors… No general model can capture these singularities.’
Cilliers, 2001, p.145

Qualitative Comparative MethodCharles Ragin Use of quantitative thresholds to make
qualitative judgements Better consideration of cases Multiple ‘complex’ paths to outcome

Implications for practice
‘Decision makers should be content with setting minimum specifications, establishing boundaries and letting the system settle into a condition that satisfies the constraints placed on it.’ (Kernick 2004, p137)’

Airport paperback: five point summary Don’t micro manage Do both synthesis and analysis
(the big picture is an important as the detail) Celebrate positive feedback systems Some places are trapped in negative
feedback, consider intervening on a large scale.
Listen to local context and ‘stories’
