"The top 0.001% (about 56,000 adults) have 3 times more wealth than half of the entire world population combined."
We question the influence of #policy instruments interactions on policy outcomes, applying a #qca to urban #water systems. We offer a framework to distinguish non-linearities and relate it to the policy process @govjournal.bsky.social
