• From tools to toolkits in policy design studies: The new design orientation towards policy formulation research (2015, background): “…in discussions between, for example, instruments of the ‘market’ and the ‘state’ or dichotomous governance styles such as ‘hierarchies’ and ‘markets’, which failed to deal appropriately with the reality of policy formulation and design in most sectors (Howlett, 2004; Howlett, 2011; Koch, 2013).”
• The Effectiveness of Payments for Environmental Services (2017, unknown): “Some case studies also highlighted that PES are frequently part of a policy mix, where policy instruments interact, deliberately or not, in producing both desired and undesired outcomes (Howlett, 2004, 2009; Barton, Blumentrath, & Rusch, 2013).”
