Description

For courses on Public Policy, Public Policy-Making, and Administrative Decision making in departments of political science or public administration.

While much has been written on public policy theory, this collection of Readings is a unique attempt to survey the literature and provide an overview and critique of the many theories, models, and concepts of public policy.


Features

  • develops a set of criteria by which we can assess the utility of various theories of public policy. This will enable students to learn how to critique and apply theories in a constructive and useful manner.
  • surveys the most important theories, models, and concepts in the public policy literature to expose students to a wide variety of theories in one book.
  • explains how the theories fit together, and offers a “contingent approach” that will help students understand how to use public policy theory.
  • includes introductions and discussions in each section in order to explain the context of the theories and their meaning and significance.

1. Introduction.


2. The Scope of Participation in Public Policy- Making.


3. The Process of Public Policy-Making.
