Delivery agency <strong>and</strong> vertical coherence<br />
Portugal<br />
Chile<br />
Figure 2.13 shows how the case study countries rate on both delivery agency <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>in</strong><br />
priority sett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> vertical coherence. Switzerl<strong>and</strong> has strong vertical coherence by nature <strong>of</strong><br />
its social consensus culture <strong>and</strong> rules <strong>of</strong> government. Denmark <strong>and</strong> F<strong>in</strong>l<strong>and</strong> (Estonia still new)<br />
achieve high vertical coherence with quite different sett<strong>in</strong>gs for delivery agency <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>and</strong><br />
this suggests someth<strong>in</strong>g else is important. However, the scores seem to suggest that more<br />
vertical coherence is achieved with greater delivery agency <strong>in</strong>fluence on policy priorities. The<br />
implications for New Zeal<strong>and</strong> are that the proposed establishment <strong>of</strong> a M<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>of</strong> Science<br />
<strong>and</strong> Innovation <strong>in</strong> 2010 to replace the exist<strong>in</strong>g M<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>of</strong> Research, Science <strong>and</strong> Technology<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Foundation for Research, Science <strong>and</strong> Technology will help achieve an improved<br />
level <strong>of</strong> vertical coherence.<br />
