From Dismantling by Default to Symbolic Dismantling? Water Policy in the United Kingdom

Oxford University Press eBooks (2012)

Andrew Jordan John Turnpenny

Abstract This chapter examines how the transition to a more multi-level system of water governance in Britain has affected the way in which dismantling was conceived of and pursued. It does so by analysing two potential cases of dismantling in the UK water sector where politicians appeared to have a strong preference to dismantle: the 1974 Control of Pollution Act and the 1992 attempt to dismantle EU environmental legislation via a so-called 'hit list'. The analysis emphasizes two broader points: First, research that seeks to study dismantling in heavily Europeanized sectors should account for the EU's role (direct and indirect) in dismantling activities at both levels of governance. Second, examining dismantling as a discrete, time-bound event runs the risk of overlooking the importance of deeper historical processes and longer-term dynamics. Attention should also be paid to the importance of extended causal chains, of unintended consequences, and of processes that unfold gradually over time.

Policy Dismantling: An Introduction

Oxford University Press eBooks (2012)

Andrew Jordan Christoffer Green‐Pedersen John Turnpenny

Policy dismantling has been studied from several perspectives, with analysts sitting at separate tables and employing different concepts. This first chapter sets out to overcome this fragmentation and develop a more comparative approach. For this purpose, it first explores the evolution of academic work on dismantling from its origins in the early 1970s, through to the more recent focus on deregulation and retrenchment. It then identifies a number of important analytical elements that have arisen in these fields and begins to explore how they could be combined into a new analytical framework. These are political preferences, opportunity structures, dismantling strategies, and dismantling effects. The final section draws all this material together, identifies the main research questions, and outlines the rest of the book.

The idea(s) of ‘valuing nature’: insights from the UK’s ecosystem services framework

Environmental Politics (2017)

John Turnpenny Duncan Russel

The variety of ideas about ways nature is 'valued' in public policymaking are investigated. A theoretical ideational approach is combined with empirical analysis of the UK's ecosystem services framework. Several types of ideas are identified, and how they interact is examined: ideas about nature itself; about the role that different research on the value of nature can or should play in decision-making; and about how policy decisions are made. In particular, the ways these ideas appear in academic debates, especially in ecological economics and philosophy, are confronted with how ideas appear in the policy practice of employing a 'valuing nature' concept. This reveals political dynamics sometimes missed by both advocates and critics of the concept of ecosystem services, such as the importance of promoting organisations and their agendas and activities, persuading different actors to change positions, and institutional commitments and sunk costs.

Understanding and managing climate change: the UK experience

Geographical Journal (2004)

Mike Hulme John Turnpenny

Climate change has emerged over the last 25 years not just as a physical reality, affecting global and regional climates, but also as a socio‐cultural phenomenon – an icon of a globalizing world which is increasingly altering the physical fabric of our planet and at the same time demanding new forms of global governance. The UK, both through its scientific research activity and through its development of climate change policy initiatives, has been at the forefront of this emergence. This review traces some of this history from a UK perspective, with an emphasis on the last 10 years. The relationship between climate change science and policy has become increasingly reflexive, leading to new forms of research and institutional structures. The academic discipline of geography has been rather marginalized from this process.

THE POLICY AND POLITICS OF POLICY APPRAISAL: EMERGING TRENDS AND NEW DIRECTIONS

Journal of European Public Policy (2009)

John Turnpenny Claudio M. Radaelli Andrew Jordan Klaus Jacob

Over the last 20 years, policy appraisal has emerged as a popular topic for discussion amongst policy-makers and academics alike. Much research effort has been devoted to developing tools and techniques to inform appraisal activities, but there has been, until recently, a distinct paucity of research on what might be termed the 'policy and politics' of policy appraisal. This is surprising, since policy appraisal is undoubtedly an important site of political behaviour, with its own institutions, instruments and policy actors. This paper takes stock of recent research on policy appraisal, draws out some common threads, and makes some suggestions for future research on what is a rapidly expanding field of European public policy analysis.
