The Public Policy Process

by Michael Hill

The Public Policy Process is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the process by which public policy is made. Explaining clearly the importance of the relationship between theoretical and practical aspects of policy-making, the book gives a thorough overview of the people and organisations involved in the process.
Fully revised and updated for a 7 th edition, The Public Policy Process provides:












 
This edition appears at a time when its concern to emphasise the complex implications of modern ‘governance’, and the way in which the ultimate outcome of a new policy initiative will depend on policy formulation and implementation processes, is particularly relevant to the UK government’s efforts to leave the European Union.

[Alireza · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't recommend this book to anyone who does not already have an advanced knowledge of public policy and main theories in its literature. Unfortunately, I have to read this book as an essential reading for my doctorate level policy analysis class. I think it is not appropriate as a textbook, by all means.

[Vickers · Rating 2 out of 5]

An infuriating read where the information and substance are hidden behind masses of convoluted language which comes off as obfuscating more for the sake of style rather than the (admittedly) difficult subject matter. Among the most painful reading experiences I've ever gone through.
