Abstract

The innovation of public policy governance (PPG) sparks interest in understanding its po sition in the current literature. Thus, the paper aims to present the scope and extent to which the notion of public policy governance has been applied in scholarly works, together with strengths and weaknesses related to its concep tual formulation and that of the literature. The paper applied qualitative secondary research and documentary analysis. Generally, the findings show that the concept of PPG has been minimal ly applied (15%) in the reviewed contemporary literature thus, suggesting it is still a relatively new field of study despite its initial use in the online literature in 2000. However, despite its minimal use, PPG offers key elements depict ing its reality. Moreover, PPG is conceived as a process and an academic framework and can be applied at the local, regional, national, and global levels. It faces conceptual stretching challenges, overlapping of its elements, and exclusion of its
core values. To improve the literature, PPG must cover the scope of the public policy process and the notions of horizontal sharing of power, rules, principles, and norms among the networks of policy stakeholders, as well as ethics, elements of good governance, and instruments for PPG. Adequate debates and empirical exploration of the policy problems associated with the lack of good PPG are encouraged. To minimize the im pacts of PPG’s conceptual challenges, one needs to carefully select a few PPG’s arguments and variables that are measurable and relevant to the proposed study.

PUBLIC POLICY GOVERNANCE: SOME INSIGHTS INTO ITS SCOPE AND APPLICATION, STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE LITERATURE

Abstract

Kamu politikası yönetişiminin (PPG) yeniliği, mevcut literatürdeki konumunun anlaşılmasına yönelik ilgiyi artırmaktadır. Bu nedenle makale, kamu politikası yönetişimi kavramının akade mik çalışmalarda uygulandığı alan ve kapsamı, kavramsal formülasyonu ve literatürdeki güçlü ve zayıf yönleriyle birlikte sunmayı amaçla maktadır. Makalede nitel ikincil araştırma ve belgesel analizi uygulanmıştır. Genel olarak bul gular, PPG kavramının incelenen çağdaş litera türde minimum düzeyde uygulandığını (%15) göstermektedir; bu da, 2000 yılında çevrimiçi literatürde ilk kez kullanılmasına rağmen hala nispeten yeni bir çalışma alanı olduğunu düşün dürmektedir. Bununla birlikte, minimum düzey de kullanılmasına rağmen, PPG, gerçekliğini tasvir eden temel unsurları sunmaktadır. Ayrıca PPG bir süreç ve akademik çerçeve olarak ta sarlanmıştır ve yerel, bölgesel, ulusal ve küresel düzeylerde uygulanabilir. Kavramsal genişleme zorluklarıyla, öğelerinin örtüşmesiyle ve temel değerlerinin dışlanmasıyla karşı karşıyadır. Literatürü geliştirmek için, PPG’nin kamu politikası sürecinin kapsamını ve politika paydaşları ağları arasında gücün yatay paylaşımı, kurallar, ilkeler ve normların yanı sıra PPG için etik, iyi yönetişim unsurları ve araçları da kapsaması gerekir. İyi bir PPG eksikliğinden kaynaklanan politika sorunlarının yeterli düzeyde tartışılması ve ampirik olarak araştırılması teşvik edilmektedir. PPG’nin kavramsal zorluklarının etkilerini en aza indirmek için, ölçülebilir ve önerilen çalışmayla ilgili birkaç PPG argümanının ve değişkeninin dikkatli bir şekilde seçilmesi gerekir.
