Implementation has long been a vexed issue in the mainstream public policy literature. The literature has remained more concerned with the design of policy and evidence of its impact than on the process by which it plays out. While implementation is often portrayed as a simple process of adopting best practice, experiences indicate that it is a far more complex process involving a range of actors translating policy into practice under varying conditions. Substantial changes to public service environments over the past few decades, both incremental and disruptive, have compounded this complexity. Commentators argue that it is time to look beyond current 'best practice' for new conceptual tools to tackle implementation challenges, particularly relating to those that take place around the many boundaries of public services (Dickinson and Sullivan, 2014a). In this paper we consider how post-structural feminist perspectives, with scope to actively challenge orthodoxies and embrace diversity and competing views, might further contemporary policy implementation research and practice.

女权主义理论能给政策实施带来什么挑战？

长期以来，实施一直是主流公共政策文献中的一个棘手问题。文献更关注政策的设计及其影响的证据，而不是政策实施的过程。虽然实施通常被描述为采用最佳实践的简单过程，但经验表明，这是一个复杂得多的过程，涉及一系列参与者在不同条件下将政策转化为实践。在过去的几十年里，公共服务环境的重大变化，无论是渐进的还是破坏性的，都加剧了这种复杂性。评论员认为，现在是时候超越当前的“最佳实践”，寻找新的概念工具来应对实施挑战，尤其是在公共服务的许多边界附近发生的那些（Dickinson 和 Sullivan，2014a）。在本文中，我们考虑了后结构女权主义观点如何积极挑战正统观念并接受多样性和相互竞争的观点，可能会进一步推动当代政策实施研究和实践。
