A public policy approach to understanding the nature and causes of foreign policy failure
本文从公共政策视角出发，构建了一个分析框架，用于理解外交政策失败的本质和原因，旨在通过跨学科思考促进对政策失败现象的认识。
All governments are vulnerable to policy failure but our understanding of the nature and causes of policy failure is highly underdeveloped. This contribution, written from a public policy perspective, sets out a framework for understanding these issues as applied to foreign policy. In doing so, it seeks a cross-disciplinary fertilization of thinking that uses the messy and contested reality of policy failure as fundamentally a key – rather than a barrier – to advancing our understanding of a phenomenon referred to variously as policy fiascos, policy disasters, policy blunders and policy failures.
