Guy The policy process in developed and less developed political systems 1996 p.1639-668 The author argues that we do not really know how different the policymaking systems of developed and developing nations are. In his view, policymaking in less developed regimes is different from that which occurs in more affluent countries. However, the differences are frequently overstated. After analyzing several problems of the policymaking process, Peters concludes that the differences are largely those of degree rather than of fundamentally different types of policy problems and processes. He concludes that what may matter is the degree of difficulty governments encounter in policymaking, and in some ways the less developed countries may actually enjoy some real advantages. At the same time, however, they have more informational, financial and ideological barriers that impose political limitations on policy learning. - Reproduced Politics and government Public policy International Journal of Public Administration 32703 32703 32703 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 19, Issue no: 9 AR32902 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
