Public Policymaking

by James E. Anderson

To explain the fundamentals of public policy, this best-selling text focuses on the process behind the crafting of legislation. By examining the individual steps-from identifying a problem, to agenda setting, to evaluation, revision, or termination of a policy-students are able to see how different factors influence the creation of policy. Each chapter features at least one case study that illustrates how general ideas are applied to specific policy issues. This new Eighth Edition provides thoughtful updates based on the 2012 election and completely revised case studies.

I wish this had more information about writing or creating policy proposals, but it's still a good, broad introduction to public policy.

Assigned as a grad school text book. Certainly an interesting topic but the information was way too dense.

its a great introduction book on the subject Public Policy recommended by my doctor... as the writer have said, its a new subject in the field of Political Science..

what I liked about it is that its a great inro in this field, also that its focuse alot on the USA

what I disliked: is that it offers a deep knowledge in this field, dont get me wrong with this, its a great thing but its hard to see anything in my country with this knowledge (third world) and it focused alot on the USA


هذا الكتاب عبارة عن مقدمة لعلم حديث في العلوم السياسية يعرف بالسياسة العامة واقترحه لي دكتوري، و قال الكاتب ايضا انه علم حديث في العلوم السياسية...

ما اعجبني: هو كتاب و مدخل جميل جدا لهذا الحقل و ايضا يركز بكثرة في الولايات المتحدة..

مالم يعجبني: انه يقدم كمية كبيرة من العلم في هذا الحقل، هذا شيء جميل ولكن يصعب رؤيتها في دولتي (العالم الثالث) و ايضا ركز بكثة على الولايات المتحدة
