Public Policy
This text is written with a conviction that public policy is not a value-free subject, and values influence and are influenced by economic realities. The result is a uniquely balanced and very readable text that hooks students. Tackling both the theory and processes of policy-making, the authors do not shrink from controversial issues that come before policy makers, and they present the dichotomy between liberal and conservative issues in policy-making.
Introduction to the Policy Process
Thoroughly revised, reorganized, updated, and expanded, this widely-used text sets the balance and fills the gap between theory and practice in public policy studies. In a clear, conversational style, the author conveys the best current thinking on the policy process with an emphasis on accessibility and synthesis rather than novelty or abstraction. A newly added chapter surveys the social, economic, and demographic trends that are transforming the policy environment.
Public Policy
Drones. Obamacare. Immigration. The economy. Gun control. Topics in the news on a daily basis, all the subject of heated policy debates. This new edition of Public Policy: Perspectives and Choices thoroughly revised to reflect a half-decade of significant changes in the policy environment¿is designed to give students the tools that they need to analyze and assess the nation's public policies for years to come. The authors combine a clear explanation of the basic concepts and methods of the policymaking process with a keen focus on how values influence policy choices. They then apply this foundation to a range of policy areas. The fully updated text: presents complicated ideas in an accessible way; engages with controversies, bringing the study of public policy alive; draws on a wealth of real world examples; provides balanced consideration of liberal and conservative policy positions; and emphasizes the relationship between individual and national interests. The result is an ideal combination of theory and practice for effectively teaching public policy.
