Public Policymaking

Praised for clear, concise writing, this text presents a process-oriented approach within a logical framework for a better understanding of each stage of policymaking. This approach exhibits policymaking as a sequence of functional activities, beginning with the identification of a problem and agenda setting and concluding with evaluation, revision, or termination of a policy. Highlights of this fifth edition include: - New! Thoroughly updated examples throughout include recent events such as the 2000 election, the Bush administration, and policy responses to September 11 - New! Examples in Chapter 2 explore political subculture in greater depth, and the division of Chapter 3 into two new chapters, "Policy Agenda," which examines how problems are defined then moulded into political issues, and "Policy Formation," which discusses in depth the search for and evaluation of alternatives to shaping policy - New! Chapter 4 includes coverage of the courts and other administrative agencies that play a role in public policy, and Chapter 5 focuses more on budgeting strategy rather than the technical process - New! Each chapter includes at least one case study
