Advancing Future-Orientation in Policymaking: Institutions, Individuals and Risks (Routledge Research on Social and Political Elites) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book argues that, under certain societal and institutional conditions, party-, interest group- and bureaucracy-based elites can interact positively to extend political timeframes beyond short electoral terms and foster reasoned long-term planning for democratic decision-making.

Focusing on Finland within a broader analytic framework and comparative context, it unearths institutions and practices that give the elites capacity to curtail democratic short-sightedness and offer long-term solutions for contemporary threats such as economic globalization, climate change and geopolitical competition. The study also reveals factors that condition the operative capacity of futureregarding institutions.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of political science, public policy and administration, elites and management and futures studies.
