(A) The Top-down or Bottom–up Debate

Theories of Policy Implementation: An Overview The rational-technical and top-down approach: It indicates theoretical orientations taking implementation as a separate stage of the policy cycle, which is characterized as an enforcement and execution of the state's policy decision The interpretive and bottom-up approach: It summarizes theoretical orientations conceiving implementation as process of interpretations, figuring out what to do and delivering concrete services to program/policy recipients on diverse localities and situations by street-level bureaucrats"within different organizational setting

The interpretive and bottom-up approach: It summarizes theoretical orientations conceiving implementation as process of interpretations, figuring out what to do and delivering concrete services to program/policy recipients on diverse localities and situations by “street-level bureaucrats” within different organizational setting.

Theories of Policy Implementation: An Overview The top-down and bottom-up synthesis approach: It characterizes theoretical orientations perceiving implementation as process of constituting coalition, structuration, networking, learning or institutionalization, within which various parties in a specific policy domain/area strive to realize a policy, program or project in a contextot complexity

Policy implementation technical control of the execution of decisions from top down Sabatier and Mazmanian define that " implementation is the carrying out of a basic policy decision..The implementation process normally runs through a number of stages beginning with passage of the basic statute followed by the policy output decisions and specifications)of the implementing agencies, the compliance of the target groups with those decisions, the actual impact- both intended and unintended -of those outputs, the perceived impacts of agency decisions, and finally, important revisions(or attempted revision) in the basic status.(1995, p 153; numbering mine)

Implementation as Control: Enforcement and Execution of Policy Decisions Accordingly, implementation is perceived as technical problems of control over the internality and externality of the policy, which has been specified by Sabarier and Mazmanian as follows Tractability of the problem Availability of valid technical theory and technology Diversity of target-group behavior Target group as percentage of the population Extent of behavior change required
