这篇文章探讨了一个小国的权力下放政府如何面对其直接控制之外的外部限制，部署政策资源，以形成一种独特的公共服务方法。我们使用Hood和Margetts提出的政府工具的北约(Nodality，Authority，Formure，Organization)类型来分析威尔士最近的无家可归政策，并展示了如何有效地应用这一类型，以理解政府在处理与其他机构的关系时必须做出的选择。我们的结论是，结束性和权威性的结合为只有有限的正式权力和财政自主权的地方政府提供了强大的资源。
This article explores how a devolved government in a small country, faced with external constraints beyond its immediate control, can deploy policy resources to shape a distinctive approach to public services. We analyse recent homelessness policy in Wales using the NATO (Nodality, Authority, Treasure, Organisation) typology of tools of government proposed by Hood and Margetts, and show how this can be applied usefully to understand the choices that governments must make in conducting relationships with other institutions. We conclude that a combination of Nodality and Authority provide powerful resources for a subnational government which has only limited formal powers and fiscal autonomy.
