Breaking out of silos: policy alignment in a time of crisis

Governments intervene in a myriad of ways at the local level, but rarely are these interventions coordinated effectively.  In the context of the recent recession, policy silos and fragmented short-term delivery have become luxuries that our economies can no longer afford.  This presentation outlines the factors which can boost local policy integration, drawing from a study of 11 OECD countries.
