| Abstract
|
:
|
Bringing the analysis to life and helping to demystify the process are discussions of recent and historic cases of policy making. Updated for this edition, these examples illustrate the diverse pressures, conflicting values, and competing political objectives that are at play in actual policy-making situations and that often produce what seem to be unnecessarily complicated outcomes.

Throughout the text, well-chosen references place policy analysis in the context of political science and deftly orient readers to the classics of public policy studies. Each chapter ends with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. --Book Jacket.
