# Elements In Public Policy

The Policy Experiments book series, part of the Elements in Public Policy collection, examines the evolving landscape of governance and decision-making. This academic series redefines policy experiments beyond simple randomized trials, framing them instead as speculative processes used to test innovative instruments against public concerns. By integrating perspectives from Science and Technology Studies, the series explores how new policy tools are introduced, how local issues are problematized, and how experimental mesocosms are assembled to test these solutions empirically.

Focusing on political science and economic conditions, the series investigates the lifecycle of policy implementation and evaluation. Through detailed case studies, including research from Chile, the volumes analyze how charismatic instruments generate imaginaries of success and how subsequent evaluations drive further experimentation. This series provides critical insights into public governance, taxation, and political theory, advocating for more tentative, ethical, and inclusive modes of experimentation within fragile global political systems.
