LIST OF PANELS

The aim of the panel is to interrogate the complex and often unexpected interplay between policy instruments, stakeholder participation and forms and practices of citizenship. Through various case studies we will explore issues around i) the changing historical trajectories of different policy instruments, ii) the complex and often paradoxical effect of participation, and iii) both the technical and political impact of policy instruments on policy outcomes.   These issues will be looked at in order to map the significance of the impact of policy instrument choices on policy design, implementation and policy learning in delivering policy reforms across a variety of policy sectors such as active labour market policies, social inclusion, social security and gender equality policies.
