Difficult, Controversial, Unsolvable and in Addition "Big" – Wicked Problems for Society and Administration. Book Review: Brian W. Head (2022) Wicked Problems in Public Policy. Understanding and Responding to Complex Challenges, Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract

Wicked problems are permanent, so they cannot be solved, but they can be alleviated. G.W. Head emphasized that several factors increase the possibility of obtaining the significant progress: quality of leaders, sufficient information, financial resources, the capacities of analysts and managers, reliable partners and cross-sector coordination.
