Public Policymaking: An Introduction

by James E. Anderson, Jeffrey Moyer, George Chichirau

A longtime student favorite, Anderson/Moyer/Chichirau's bestselling PUBLIC POLICYMAKING explains public policy fundamentals by emphasizing the process behind the creation of legislation. As you examine each individual step of the policymaking process -- from policy formation and budgeting to implementation and impact -- you will gain a thorough understanding of how different factors influence public policy creation. In addition, each chapter features at least one case study that illustrates how general ideas are applied to specific policy issues. Reflecting the latest research and developments from the field, the new Ninth Edition provides current coverage of the 2020 election, the COVID-19 pandemic and more. The text is packed with examples and its student-friendly format helps you easily see how chapter concepts relate to your everyday life.

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
