Features: This book first analyzes the background of policy tool discussions and outlines its development in the field of public management. It includes an elaboration on four different schools of thought regarding policy tool research: instrumentalism, proceduralism, conditionalism, and constitutivism. The starting point for considering the criteria for selecting policy tools is their effectiveness as regulatory, economic, and communication means. It discusses the efforts made by governments in various countries in recent years to limit market intervention and raises the issues that public policy continues to face in this regard.
