A systemic integration approach to designing interagency responses to wicked problems (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Sydelko, P., Midgley, G., & Espinosa, A. (2017). A systemic integration approach to designing interagency responses to wicked problems. In Proceedings of the 61st Meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (23-54)

Wicked problems are open-ended, highly interdependent issues that cross agency, stakeholder, jurisdictional, political and geopolitical boundaries. This confounds governments because policies and budgets tend to be aligned within these boundaries an...
