But many ideas that have not been successful in the past continue to be used by policymakers, and some good ideas tend not to be adopted. This Element will focus on why governments make these poor policy choices. We will discuss a number of examples of 'zombie ideas' that refuse to die, and then discuss the factors that are associated with their survival. Those factors occur at the elite, the organizational and the societal level. We will also examine some 'ghost' ideas that may well be successful but have a difficult time being adopted, and the factors that are associated with the exclusion of these ideas from the policy process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brainard Guy Peters, Maximilian Lennart Nagel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108926037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108926034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Brainard Guy Peters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993573228799,"sku":"9781108926034","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fe9916a-4d8c-4f94-86e3-648245ffd033.jpg?v=1683325087","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zombie-ideas-brainard-guy-peters-9781108926034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
