本特刊围绕政策增长与政策执行的关系，从变化、挑战和机遇三个主题探讨政策增长如何影响执行结构、公共部门效能及应对策略，适合政策研究者与实务者参考。
ABSTRACT In this Special Issue titled “Policy Growth and Its Impacts on Policy Implementation,” we present a collection of articles examining the relationship between the policy growth and policy implementation. The issue is organized around three key themes: changes, challenges, and chances. In the “changes” section, we feature scholarly work that investigates how policy growth influences the evolution of implementation structures and practices. The “challenges” section offers analyses on how the increasing complexity and volume of policies affect the effectiveness and operational practices of public authorities. Finally, the “chances” section highlights strategies that can be employed to manage policy growth and thus bolster countries' implementation capabilities. By addressing these issues, we contribute to various strands of literature, including studies on ungovernability, policy growth, policy implementation, and street‐level bureaucracy. In this introduction, we underscore our contributions to these areas of research and provide a brief overview of the within this Special Issue contributions structured around the three core themes.
