" While it is generally accepted that the doctrines of the political parties heavily influence the policies they advocate, "Introducing Public Policy" uses this overall context to shape and define its presentation of the policymaking process. Within this doctrinal framework, the text explores the development of public policy from its ideological roots to its dynamic application today, maintaining a lively, often humorous tone and interdisciplinary story-telling approach which will engage and edify students and professors alike.
