New Governance Arrangements
Mixes of policy instruments that are intended to be mutually supportive, and to reflect a set of coherent goals in a consistent manner.
(Howlett and Rayner. 2007. "Design Principles for Policy Mixes: Cohesion and Coherence in 'New Governance Arrangements'")
---------------------------------
NGAs involve four primary considerations:
a) Combining instruments in a supportive way so that multiple instruments do not undermine one another in the pursuit of goals.
b) Integrating instruments into existing arrangements to achieve a cohesive strategy.
c) Coordinating agencies and actors involved.
d) Creating a holistic approach to problem-solving rather than introducing multiple, unrelated solutions to a given problem.
