The Problem of Policy Problems
Abstract
Although conceptions of policy design have well-developed conceptions of the instruments used to address public problems, they have much less developed conceptions of those problems themselves. This article proposes one analytic scheme for understanding the nature of policy problems and issues, and begins to relate the choice of instruments to the nature of the underlying problems for society.

Wicked and less wicked problems: a typology and a contingency framework

“The policy literature has increasingly demonstrated that problem definition is crucial, and that every perspective about the nature of a problem tends to imply a preferred solution (eg Peters, 2005).”
BackgroundWhat is so wicked about wicked problems? A conceptual analysis and a research program

“We Peters and Hoornbeek (2005); (see also Hoornbeek, this issue) have argued in the past that policy analysis can make more progress by examining the underlying analytic dimensions of policies, rather than the familiar functional categories.”

“…the wicked terminology altogether include, for example, the excellent book on policy ‘messes’ by Roe (2013) and the more generalizable and productive work about difficult and complex policy problems (Hoornbeek & Guy Peters, 2017; Peters, 2005), or governance ‘dilemmas’ (Bevir & Rhodes, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
