Help needed: Right policies that are not adopted because citizens would not understand

June 6, 2012

In the context of the Crossover project, I am writing a short note on the key challenges of effective policy-making.

One of the well-known problems is that in some cases, the “right” policies are not adopted because “citizens would not understand”.

Can you help me identifying the best example of such situations?

For instance, can is there evidence that carbon emissions have not been sufficiently cut because of this?

Any other example?
