In this new edition of Beyond Machiavelli, Beryl Radin updates her
popular overview of the field of policy analysis. Radin, winner of
the John Gaus Award from the American Political Science
Association, considers the critical issues that confront the policy
analysis practitioner, changes in the field, including the
globalization of policy analysis, and the dramatic changes in the
policy environment. She examines schools and careers; the conflict
between the imperatives of analysis and the world of politics; the
analytic tools that have been used, created, or discarded over the
past fifty years; the relationship between decision makers and
analysts as the field has multiplied and spread; and the
assumptions about the availability and appropriateness of
information that can be used in the analytic task. Once found
largely in the United States, policy analysis has become global,
and Radin discusses the field's new paradigms, methodologies and
concepts of success. This new edition considers changes in
expertise, controversies in the field, today's career prospects,
and the impact of 9/11 on the field. She profiles three additional
policy analysis organizations and updates the profiles of the
organizations in the first edition. Continuing the trajectory of
the fictional characters from the first edition, Radin adds a
character representing the new generation just entering the field.
The book discusses the shifts in society's attitudes toward public
action, the availability of resources to meet public needs, and the
dimensions of policymaking. Written for students, faculty, and
practitioners, the book concludes with a look at the possible
dimensions of the policy analysis field and profession as it moves
into the future.
