ABSTRACT
Although self-interested, corrupt, and other similar kinds of policy-making have been the subject of many studies in administrative and regulatory law, this work has generally been ignored or paid only lip service by policy studies. This is changing, however, as the question of the behaviour of policy targets in particular has increasingly become a source of interest among policy scholars and begun to inform policy design studies. This chapter reviews these developments and behaviours in order to aid the process of improving policy designs to deal with this ‘dark side’ of policy-making.
