Document Summary
Putting policy instruments into action in a way to achieve policy goals. Once there"s a plan of action, it needs to be put into action, or implemented. Typically the responsibility of the bureaucracy in the relevant ministry. If the policy enforcers agree with the policy and instruments, more likely to get desired results. Because even good policy, good instruments and a good plan can go horribly wrong if not well-implemented. And implementation can sometimes rescue policy, instruments and plans that are less than optimal. In the right place at the right time. Similarly there are recent trends in the way that governments do business that have relevance for the implementation process. B question: based on one of the 3 applied readings for the policy instruments topic, describe which technical and political constraints on instrument choice where illustrated in the relevant article.
