Title: PUA 756 Program Implementation


1
PUA 756 Program Implementation
  • Discussion Questions

2
Weekend One
  • Discussion points
  • What is implementation?
  • How does it relate to public administration?
  • How does it relate to public policy?
  • What is a model?
  • How might you model implementation of public
    policy?

3
Tools of Implementation
  • Governments employ specific sets of actions,
    tools or instruments for delivering services. In
    Chapter 1, Salamon discusses that implementation
    has evolved over time.
  • Why has the nature of government action changed?
    Why distinguish policies by their underlying
    tools? What does this analytic strategy help us
    understand about a given policy? What are the
    limitations?
  • What is a tools approach to understanding public
    policy implementation? What are some of the
    policy tools (or instruments) are identified in
    the readings? What are examples of these tools
    from your own experience? How can policy tools
    improve implementation?

Weekend Two
  • In recent years, implementation studies have
    shifted focus from the agency to the program in
    the hopes of discovering why program performance
    is so often disappointing. Explain this new
    governance paradigm and how it has helped us
    understand public program success and/or failure.
  • Considering the tools discussed the assigned
    readings, how would you determine whether one
    (direct government, government corporations,
    regulatory tools, grants/loans) is more
    appropriate in a given situation than another?

5
Weekend Three
  • Using a current issue as an example, how has the
    political context affected the implementation of
    alternatives and solutions? How about the
    economic context? Have any other Democracy issues
    affected the implementation of your selected
    policy?
  • Is it possible, given the array of policy actors
    involved, that effective implementation of policy
    is not a goal because of a lack of confidence in
    what the intended or unintended impacts should
    be?

6
Weekend Four
  • Within the public and political arenas, why is so
    little attention given to the practical realities
    of policy implementation?
  • In the end, who is ultimately responsible for the
    effectiveness of government?
