Values, Policy-Making, and Implementation

This article used a "realist" paradigm to explore policy-making and implementation and examines the effects of policy culture on the implementation of public policy. The processing of energy termination mediation cases by a state utility regulatory commission was used to examine differential implementation of law by a profit-seeking industry and a regulatory body. The validity of the assertion that health and welfare issues should be divorced from energy regulatory policy due to the character of consumers was examined The study supports the conclusion that in the emerging political economy, studies of implementation should consider the broader political culture and discard the textbook separation of policymaking and implementation.
