What Is Next for Policy Design and Social Construction Theory?1. Schneider, A. & Sidney, M. Policy Studies Journal, 37(1):103--119, 2009. ![What Is Next for Policy Design and Social Construction Theory?1 [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The study of policy design has made great progress over the past decade in leading scholars to understand why the American political system produces certain kinds of designs rather than others, and the consequences that policy designs have for democracy. This article outlines the distinctive and important elements of policy design theory—the centrality of policy design, the attention to social constructions, the attention to policy consequences (or feed-forward effects), and the integration of normative and empirical research and theory. It then suggests how policy design theory can complement other policy theories in guiding research and evaluating the conditions of U.S. democracy, and how in its own right it can be further developed and used to guide important inquiry about public policy's politics and social impacts.
