Target Compliance: The Final Frontier of Policy Implementation. Weaver, K. Technical Report Brookings Institution, Washington DC, 2009.
Paper abstract bibtex Voters elect governments to solve social problems and governments design and implement an array of programs to ensure the public good. However, little theoretical attention has been devoted to the final step of the implementation chain: explanations of why the targets of public policies do or do not “comply” with those policies. Kent Weaver focuses on why program “targets” frequently fail to act in the way that program designers intended and wanted, even when it appears to be in their self-interest to do so.
