This is an open access book. This book offers the first overview of the ‘wicked problems’ literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the ‘problem’ and the preferred ‘solution’ being strongly contested. It contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention. There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical aspects of how ‘wicked problems’ are identified, understood and managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders often advocate and implement ideological ‘quick fixes’, but integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social, economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance for shared strategies for tackling ‘wicked problems’.

Prestatiesturing is een begrip binnen de publieke sector, maar de vertaalslag van dit private managementinstrument is niet altijd zonder problemen. De context van de publieke sector maakt dat dit instrument aangepast moet worden aan de specifieke context. De lokale politie, als onderdeel van de publieke sector, maakt tevens gebruik van prestatiesturing. De vraag is evenwel hoe dit in de dagelijkse politiepraktijk vorm krijgt. Deze vraag tracht de mastproef te beantwoorden door het ondernemen van drie case studies bij middelgrote korpsen. Het antwoord blijkt moeilijk te geven. De vertaalslag is een feit, maar de praktijk toont dat dit niet zonder problemen is. Naast dit empirische luik zoomt het theoretische luik eerst in op het proces van prestatiesturing. In tweede orde wordt het proces van prestatiesturing geplaatst binnen de context van de publieke sector, om het zo te kunnen plaatsen binnen de context van de lokale politie.
