"Nudging in Public Policy" published on by Oxford University Press.

Gegenstand dieser kumulativen Habilitationsschrift sind teils publizierte, teils zur Publikation vorgesehen Beiträge zur wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Theoriebildung im Bereich Governance und Public Policy. Die Beiträge befassen sich insgesamt mit theoretischen Grundfragen der Evolution von Staatlichkeit und den institutionellen Bedingungen der Steuerung politisch-ökonomischer Prozesse. Hierbei wird ein theoretisches Feld abgedeckt, dass von der ökonomischen Theorie der Wirtschaftspolitik über die politikwissenschaftliche Theorie des Wohlfahrtsstaates bis hin zur politischen Ökonomie der europäischen Integration reicht. Gemeinsam ist all diesen theoretischen Perspektiven die Zugehörigkeit zum Diskussionszusammenhang des neuen Institutionalismus in den Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften. Er wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit vor allem hinsichtlich seiner Erklärungskraft für volkswirtschaftliche und politologische Fragestellungen zu Rate gezogen. Mit den Bezügen zur den Konzepten der Governance und der Public Policy lässt sich die Arbeit daher insgesamt als Beitrag zur aktuellen staats- und steuerungstheoretischen Debatte im ökonomischen und politikwissenschaftlichen Institutionalismus werten. Beide Bereiche sind dann als Pfeiler eines gemeinsamen staatswissenschaftlichen Paradigmas zu verstehen. Die Arbeit setzt sich aus zehn Einzeltexten zusammen. Sieben liegen in englischer Sprache vor, drei in deutscher Sprache. In der vorliegenden kumulativen Habilitationsschrift sind diese Einzelbeiträge systematisch in fünf Teilen mit jeweils zwei Kapiteln angeordnet.

This study addresses the problem of optimal public policy timing and the relation to public health policy. Ways of recognizing this problem are presented, as well as the role of public policy timing, which is perceived or can be performed from various economic theories and concepts, mainly: regulation theory ; the concept of adaptive public policy ; and the theory of policy timing based on the concepts of option value and the transaction costs of the political process. The approach of methodological pluralism adopted by the authors made it possible to reach for various cognitive inspirations borrowed from numerous theoretical approaches, in order to create a comprehensive and coherent theoretical foundation for the purposes of analyzing the role of timing in applied public policies. Next, an attempt was made to define the role of public policy timing in the applied approach, i.e., the case of Polish policy towards the public hospital care sector. The final conclusion is that the role of timing is marginalized in Polish public health policy. The time dimension of its creation was ignored or treated as an exogenous event in relation to the rest of the policy formulation process. There is no political approach that adaptively links the right combination of resources and regulatory activity to timing for specific stages of development or growth in public hospital care.

There are many ethical dimensions of public policy. Public policy as actions to solve the collective problems includes directly or indirectly making ethical judgments. Public policy takes into account reconciliation of conflicting interests of individuals, groups, and organizations which is based on the values agreeing which influences on the objectives, principles, and styles of policy implementation. Ethical judgments about selecting more and less important as well as more positive problem solutions are present on all stages of policy cycle.

Public policy is an area of increasing study. Of concern in this presentation is the consensus-building feature of policymaking in the United States. The role of government in following the procedures established to achieve consensus and the importance of citizen participation in this open process cannot be under-estimated. The five central features of American consensus building are separation of powers, multiple levels of government, citizen participation, policymaker accountability, and individual freedoms. These features frame the efforts of those who shape the public policies that determine the ways laws are made and enforced and public funds are spent.
