Public Policy Processes: The Cognitive Systems Perspective

  This special issue explores the connections between cognitive processes 
and organizational/institutional dynamics in public policy. Articles 
discuss bounded rationality as a microfoundation for the study of public 
policy, the modeling of contagion in policy systems, evolutionary factors 
in coordinating policy action, communication models of 
information-processing, dynamic adaptation in public and private 
organizations, the measurement of uncertainty in policy-related discourse, 
and the integration of big data approaches into public policy theory.
Contains articles from 01 June 2017 to 01 October 2017.
