LIST OF PANELS

Policy instruments have become a fundamental topic in public policy. Policy instruments are the way through which governments do their job to steer policies and are the means through which they try to change the performance of existing policies. The relevance of policy instruments (in every stage of the policy-making) has progressively been recognized, above all because policy instruments represent  one of the main research questions to which policy scholars address their investigations. This workshop will focus on and collectively discuss the following issues:

1. the types of instruments that  governments have at their disposal for doing their job;
2. why and how policy-makers decide to adopt specific policy instruments and not others;
3. the complex question of the policy effects and of the performance of the adopted instruments
