Description
Built on the premise that all public policy is ultimately grounded in the philosophy of governance, Christopher A. Simon’s second edition continues to approach policy by combining normative and empirical perspectives. This deeply revised second edition continues to expose students to the basis of preferences, policy-making processes, policy history, and current policy decisions and outcomes. Chapters conclude with a case studies engaging students in the application of their theoretical knowledge to the real world, and encouraging them to be informed and active citizens.
Features
Alternate tables of content are included to provide professors and students with flexible, easy-to-implement options for approaching and assigning public policy.
Case studies provide real-world examples that concretely illustrate theoretical concepts.
End-of-Chapter questions reinforce key concepts and encourage students to think critically about the chapter topics.
Each chapter ends with a two-part summary that offers a review of the major chapter concepts (“Lessons Learned”) and puts them in context (“The Big Picture”).
New To This Edition
- Case studies have been added at the end of chapters to encourage small group dialog and debate, and energize the next generation of policy makers to get involved.
- This second edition includes a section tying policy areas to current immigration policy issues.
- A section on public finance and taxation helps you understand the budget, its size, and the resources that are invested in the making of public policy.
- A discussion of the role of technology looks to the future of public policy and how it is developing in the 21st century.
- With a condensed text and new glossary, this 2nd edition shortens your reading time and makes information easier to find.
