Presentation of the Public Policy Laboratory Design Model

Abstract

Addressing the complexity of policymaking necessitates the establishment of a policy lab dedicated to formulating, implementing, and evaluating public policies. This research aims to explicate a design model for such policy laboratories. Given the absence of a theoretical framework in this domain, researchers conducted thematic analysis to identify the dimensions, components, and indicators of the policy laboratory design model. This analysis revealed four key dimensions: policy laboratory design antecedents, steps, design, and outcomes. Utilizing this model, policy experts can create a space with suitable infrastructure, personnel, and stakeholders, fostering innovative solutions for societal challenges. This facilitates interdisciplinary discourse among experts handling multifaceted societal issues. The study's value lies in enhancing policy development within the policy lab by leveraging its components and indicators.
