Weber's action theory and Lowi's policy types in formulation, enactment, and implementation

In: Policy studies journal: an international journal of public policy, Band 18, Heft Summer 90

Abstract

Synthesised criteria enable more analytically precise categories. Identifies ideal types based on the integration of the 2 models. Outlines Weber's categories and applies the Weberian model to the categories of distributive, redistributive, regulatory, and constituent policy. A particular orientation towards social action in the formulation stage evolves towards a particular policy arena in the enactment of legislation stage, the stage of implementation. (SJK)
