Abstract:

Succeeding in the art of contemporary policymaking involves designing policies which reflect the deeply interconnected nature of political space. And yet, while it is undisputed that political spaces are fluid and networked, policy continues to be articulated through the age-old categories and hierarchies of scale. This book asks why scale occupies this enduring position of privilege in the work of policymakers. By highlighting how scales are far from ‘natural’ features of policy and that they are instead essential to the armoury of policy practice, the book presents ‘scalecraft’ as a new dime

Yemen is a country that is critical to U.S. security and our political interests, yet most Americans know virtually nothing about it.
