Street-level bureaucracy research across the borders of scholarly communities

This chapter identifies ways in which disciplines other than the study of public policy and public administration offer similar insights to problems of policymaking and implementation, as well as management of street-level workers. What can be learned from their approaches is explored to add to and develop a wider scholarly debate and a broader study of the implementation part of policy processes. This is relevant for a number of reasons; most importantly for the street-level disciplinary perspective to continue to evolve to meet the needs of 'policy in action', but also to do so from within a broader church of perspectives and thus also add to wider scholarship in a meaningful way.
