Abstract

In countries worldwide, the provision of policy advice to central governments has been transformed by the deinstitutionalisation of policymaking, which has engaged a diverse range of actors in the policy process. Scholarship should therefore address the impact of deinstitutionalisation in terms of the scope and scale of policy advisory systems, as well as in terms of the influence of policy advisors. This article addresses this gap, presenting a programme of research on policy advice in Whitehall. Building on Craft and Halligan’s conceptualisation of a ‘policy advisory system’, it argues that in an era of polycentric governance, policy advice is shaped by ‘interlocking actors’ beyond government bureaucracy, and that the pluralisation of advisory bodies marginalises the civil service. The implications of such alterations are considered against the backdrop of governance changes, particularly the hybridisation of institutions, which has made policymaking processes complex, prone to unpredictability and at risk of policy blunders.
多中心治理和政策咨询:来自白厅政策咨询系统的经验教训
在世界各国,政策制定的非制度化改变了向中央政府提供政策建议的方式,政策制定过程中有各种各样的行为者参与。因此,奖学金应该从政策咨询系统的范围和规模以及政策顾问的影响方面来解决去机构化的影响。本文提出了一项针对白厅政策建议的研究计划,解决了这一差距。在Craft和Halligan的“政策咨询系统”概念的基础上,它认为在一个多中心治理的时代,政策咨询是由政府官僚机构之外的“连锁行动者”形成的,咨询机构的多元化使公务员制度边缘化。这种变化的影响是在治理变化的背景下考虑的,特别是在机构混合的背景下,这使得决策过程变得复杂,容易出现不可预测性,并有政策失误的风险。
