We start from the understanding that lower levels of bureaucracy – those that are charged with applying the policy on an everyday basis – have specific aims, constraints, organizations, and routines that can significantly influence the outcome of a policy.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/MigrationBook chapter
