This book offers the first overview of the ‘wicked problems’ literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the ‘problem’ and the preferred ‘solution’ being strongly contested. It contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention. There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical aspects of how ‘wicked problems’ are identified, understood and managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders often advocate and implement ideological ‘quick fixes’, but integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social, economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance for shared strategies for tackling ‘wicked problems’. 2022-03-15T07:53:43Z 2022-03-15T07:53:43Z 2022 book ONIX_20220314_9783030945800_60 9783030945800 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/53360 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-94580-0.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-030-94580-0 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-030-94580-0 10.1007/978-3-030-94580-0 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 ecd5c1ef-9348-4167-80c9-25a6a27f73f2 9783030945800 Palgrave Macmillan 176 Cham [grantnumber unknown] open access
