Most studies of risk management examine only exogenous risks – that is, those external to the policy-making process such as impact climate change, extreme weather events, natural disasters or financial calamities. But there is also a large second area concern "internal risks" linked adverse malicious behavior on part policy makers. This deceive "game" intentions and expectations government world which requires management. The paper reviews three archetypal cases efforts manage this side in UK, US Australia draws lessons from them about how best deal with "darkside" policy-making.

This paper aims at filling gap, by looking how different theories of the process can help explaining as shaped subsystems. By building on insights from process, we develop pathways regarding adoption implementation account for politicization role actors subsystems Our main argument permanent tension with sectoral logic policymaking, which predominantly happens between Policy is, thus, not single moment when those tensions are solved once all, but requires deliberate efforts overcome pull toward sector-specific problem definition, implementation, evaluation.

Modern politics is permeated by blame games-symbolic struggles over the blameworthiness or otherwise of various social actors. In this article, we develop a framework for identifying different strategies blaming that protesters use on media to criticize and delegitimize governments political leaders. We draw systemic functional linguistic theory Appraisal distinguish between attributions based negative judgments target's (1) capacity, such as references their incompetence policy failures; (2) veracity, questioning truthfulness honesty via deceitful character dishonest acts utterances; (3) propriety, moral standing to, instance, corruption; (4) tenacity, suggesting politicians are not dependable due example, dithering. add further threefold distinction whether focused bad character, behavior, outcomes target either caused did prevent from happening. To illustrate approach, analyze corpus replies Twitter users tweets British government ministers about two highly contentious issues, Covid-19 Brexit, in 2020-2021. suggest methodology outlined here could provide useful avenue systematically revealing comparing variety realizations large datasets online conflict talk, thereby providing more fine-grained understanding practices protest delegitimation modern politics.

ABSTRACT Disagreements and conflicts over public policy can create opportunities for people to learn about how others value prioritize issues or what types of alternatives are feasible in the face conflicting goals. Such learning have feedback effects that either mitigate enhance conflicts. Despite logical intersections between conflict learning, limited empirical attention has been paid understanding their dynamics. To address this limitation, paper employs Policy Conflict Framework as a guide analyzing context examine relationship we use interview data from actors involved water management Colorado. We find evidence intersection is dynamic multifaceted. First, not simply an outcome conflict; it be intentional mitigation strategy.
