| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the policy implementation process, and to the development of tools that link theory with policy implementation practice. To this end, the study raised the hypothesis that a policy implementation problem arises because of a lack of fit between the context in which the policy takes place and the policy. The thesis further proposed that this gap and the policy instruments to mitigate the gap could be determined through the use of a contingency model developed and tested in this study..
