Abstract

The concepts of public policy failure and fiasco are often used in political discourse to describe the ineffectiveness of a particular policy, program or measure. Public policy failures are not only the absence of expected results, but often also highlight deeper social, economic or political problems. These failures can be due to a variety of reasons, including design flaws, weaknesses in implementation, lack of resources or even a lack of political will. This text explores the different dimensions of public policy failures, demonstrating how mistakes in policy design and implementation can have significant social, economic and political consequences.
