• THE POLICY AND POLITICS OF POLICY APPRAISAL: EMERGING TRENDS AND NEW DIRECTIONS (2009, background): “…certainly does link (and should take us back) to some rather hoary debates in public policy such as decision-making (Russel and Jordan 2009), policy co-ordination (Schout and Jordan 2007), and the development and (non-)utilization of evidence in politics (Dowie 1996; Pawson 2002; Sanderson 2006).”
• The lessons of policy learning: types, triggers, hindrances and pathologies (2018, unknown): “This is connected with ideals of Dewey’s practical–moral deliberation (Sanderson, 2006), achieving the legitimacy of law through communicative rationality (Habermas, 1984) and the design of ‘good’ deliberative governance (Dryzek, 2010).”
• The impact of sustainable tourism indicators on destination competitiveness: the European Tourism Indicator System (2021, background): “Assimilation can be impeded by numerous demand-side factors since as mentioned earlier, policy making is not simply context-free technical problem solving (Sanderson, 2006), but a complex process that is context sensitive and highly political.”
