-Analysis of Policy choices matters very little if the mechanism for implementing those choices is poorly understood. In the Normal Case, it was about 10, leaving 90 in the realm of Implementation. |

-Defenders of agent specification claim that permitting detailed designation of the part of the government which will implement the plan makes for better comparison. When the affirmative specifies the Bureau of Prisons as their implementing agent, debate is instantly made more concrete and focused on the benefits and consequences of certain action. And of course there is often a rich literature assessing the relative merits of this agency over that when it comes to mental health or oceans policy. Such literatures range from discussion of the respective costs of regulatory action as opposed to judicial enforcement to very detailed discussions about the problems likely to arise when one agency or an another undertakes enforcement actions in the area of the plan’s mandates. Whole academic disciplines concentrate their energies on the mechanics of regulatory process, and so no one should be surprised to find treasure troves of evidence defending the courts or regulatory agencies or various taxation mechanisms as best equipped to accomplish certain legislated outcomes. |
