Policy-taking styles: a typology and an empirical application to anti-Covid policies / M. Giuliani. - In: JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN PUBLIC POLICY. - ISSN 1350-1763. - (2023), pp. 1-25. [Epub ahead of print] [10.1080/13501763.2023.2188891]
Abstract:
Several studies have investigated the variety of governance strategies adopted
by European countries to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. Some nations
relied on a more liberal approach, based on recommendations and a lack of
mandatory constraints; others trusted more top-down regulations and longlasting
restrictions. The feasibility and success of the different strategies also
depend on the way in which policy-takers react. The article uses this
exemplary policy case to propose a novel theoretical framework which maps
the variety of policy-taking styles applying March and Olsen’s (2006) logics of
conditionality and appropriateness. Using mobility data, it then employs the
new typology to explore the diverse styles adopted by policy-takers reacting
to anti-Covid workplace regulations in 29 European countries. The categories
proposed can be applied also in different contexts, especially where policy
success crucially depends on countless individual behaviours, and policymakers
need to choose the most effective mix of enforcement tools.
