Beyond Policy Analysis: Public Issue Management in Turbulent Times

by Leslie A. Pal

With an authoritative and courageous approach, Beyond Policy Analysis examines public policymaking in Canada at all areas of governance, including Heath Care, Education, Economic Development and Trade. This title goes beyond conventional categories and concepts to examine how the world of policymaking has changed with the increasing pressures of globalization, information technology, changing public values and cultural assumptions, citizen distrust, and decentralization and subsidiary. The sixth edition investigates ever-evolving governance, and proactively discusses contemporary Canadian issues.

[Laurie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read only the chapters I needed for class. Probably effects my rating as I was not intrinsically motivated to rate this book. Not bad though when it comes to texts books, could have been way worse.

A thorough analysis and history of policy analysis from the Canadian perspective of public policy generation. Not for everyone-academic text, specialized material. Go read it, if that's your thing.

[Holly Tanner · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is good if you dont have no understanding of public policy, although some parts seem a tad dry and hard to get threw.

Good book.
