Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas.Renowned public policy scholar B. Guy Peters presents an
introduction that untangles multidisciplinary approaches and
condenses them into a sharp, functional overview of the field. This
book outlines three vital components of policy design:
understanding the causes behind the problem being addressed;
identifying means of intervention, including selection and
implementation of policy instruments; and evaluation and
development of a strong policy knowledge base. By considering
policymaking as a problem of design analogous to architecture or
engineering, it approaches the core issue of how decision-makers
can make effective choices. This clear and timely book captures the
essence of an evolving field from both academic and practical
perspectives. Students and established scholars alike will find the
book to be a key resource for framing contemporary issues in public
policy.
