About<br/>Overview<br/>PUBLIC POLICY: AN EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH, 3e, examines how the substance and process of public policy and our understanding of that have evolved in America. After providing the reader with an analytic, historic and contextual framework for viewing public policy in the U.S., the authors offer a comprehensive look at the various elements of the governing process including agenda setting and problem definition, policy formation, implementation, program evaluation, and policy change and termination. In doing that the authors pay particular attention to the range of theories that have been offered to explain how, why, and with what effects governments act. The authors then look at three critical policy areas – environment, education, and welfare – to furher illustrate how governing proceeds in the U.S. Thoroughout the text the authors draw extensively on actual policy examples including recent efforts to reform education and welfare and the war in Iraq.<br/>Features and Benefits<br/>The text provides the most exhaustive discussion of the various approaches, theories and models that scholars and practitioners use to analyze public policies and the policy process of any policy text currently on the market (see, in particular, chapters 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 13) and how those models have changed in the last several decades.<br/>Careful and thorough discussion of how the substance and process of public policy have evolved over both the long and short terms of American history.<br/>Discussion questions at end of each chapter frequently challenge students to think about the material and apply it to the world in which they live.<br/>Provides a balance between conservative and liberal approaches to public policy.<br/>Extensive use of policy examples, both new and old, to illustrate key concepts.<br/>- See more at: http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=public+policy|161624301620917073902096457036165063140&N=16&Ntk=APG%7CP_EPI&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial#sthash.Yhw0DntL.dpuf |
