Author Information

Paul Cairney is Professor of Politics and Public Policy, University of Stirling. His publications include Understanding Public Policy (Palgrave, 2019), Making Policy in a Complex World (with Tanya Heikkila and Matthew Wood, Cambridge 2019), The Politics of Evidence-based Policymaking (Palgrave, 2016), and The Handbook on Complexity and Public Policy (Edward Elgar, 2015). Emily St Denny is a Lecturer in Public Policy at the University of Stirling. Her expertise lies in prevention policy, policymaking in the devolved UK, and public sector reform. Her current research focuses on the manner in which 'prevention' is articulated as a broad policy 'philosophy', the reasons why its effective implementation continues to elude policymakers across different sectors, and how prevention policy might more effectively be designed and delivered.
