Summary
In this final part of the book I begin by examining a practical application of crucial importance for public policy management, that of involving the targeted allocation of public action resources to the political-administrative actors on the basis of action plans or, more specifically, the instrument generally referred to in Switzerland as ‘service-level agreements’ (see Chapter 16).
Chapter 17 presents some practical advice for researching portfolios of public action resources, and carrying out explanatory analyses that relate the results of decision-making processes and the activities of different actor groups to the mobilization of resources. This should facilitate the evaluation of power relations between actors and the outcomes of public action in specific areas.
