'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key
policymaker, Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal
how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives.' - Paul
Kelly, International Editor, The Australian'This innovative and
important volume, unique in the policy literature, provides ideas
and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the
quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable
guide to past choices, and its lessons should help shape future
Australian social policy decisions.' - Dr Glyn Davis, co-author of
The Australian Policy HandbookHow are social policies conceived,
developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of
social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the
Child Support Scheme, AUSTUDY, the Higher Education Contribution
scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as
'Working Nation') Social Policy, Public Policy provides insights
into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy
advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience, revealed in
extracts from her journal, provides a picture of what social policy
participants actually do, something on which too little has been
written.Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy
problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key
ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in
what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the
events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation
processes occurred?Social Policy, Public Policy is essential
reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers.
