At RSF Patashnik is examining the federal government\u2019s performance as a problem-solving institution. Drawing on theories of political failure and a historical review of problem-solving activities across domestic issues, including education, environment, and healthcare, Patashnik is writing a book about the contemporary policy state and how government\u2019s capacity to frame and address important societal problems can be improved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
