The Oxford Handbook of Political Science

---

This "Oxford Handbook of Public Policy" aspires to provide a rounded understanding of what it is to make and to suffer, to study and to critique, the programs and policies by which officers of the state attempt to rule. Ruling is an assertion of the will, an attempt to exercise control, to shape the world. Public policies are instruments of this assertive ambition, and policy studies in the mode that emerged from operations research during the Second World War were originally envisaged as handmaidens in that ambition. There was a distinctly ‘‘high modernist’’ feel to the enterprise, back then: technocratic hubris, married to a sense of mission to make a better world, an overwhelming confidence in our ability to measure and monitor that world, and boundless confidence in our capacity actually to pull off the task of control (Scott 1997; Moran 2003).
