This is a review of the publication "Policy problems and Policy Design" written by Guy Peters and published by the Edward Elgar Publishing. The reviewed work nurtures the current discussions about the policy design frameworks. In this paper it is stated that the novelty of the work resides in two aspects. The first is the reconciliation of policy design with a broader and holistic theroretical approach of design. The second is the repoliticization of the policy design process, in opposition with an instrumental and technocratic vision of designing.
