Customer Reviews

Great Public Policy Book!

This book is a great way to introduce students to the complexities of public policy. The cases are very realistic and plausible. Everyone in my class could identify with the dilemmas that policy makers face thanks to the way this book presents them. There is usually a disconnect between public policy theory and actual policy making. This book combines the two extremely well.

Great Book

I used this book in a public policy course. I initially did not think that I would like this subject. But the book made all thedifference. Interesting exploration of different models of policy analysis and great cases. The writing is interesting and the political approach to policy analysis is particularly effective. A great book for MPA students or anyone else interested in understanding how to analyze public policy.
