The issue of policy dynamics is a key one in policy studies and
one which is particularly amenable to comparative policy research.
This edited volume brings together some of the leading scholars in
the field to examine the definition, conceptualization and
operationalization of policy change.
Drawing on empirical materials from a variety of longitudinal
studies of Europe and North American policy development, this book
assesses some of the major existing and unresolved issues currently
challenging the discipline. It assesses existing approaches to
understanding the multiplicity of drivers of policy change and
provides a general map of the composite, multidimensional world of
policies in action. The book features case studies on welfare
reform, education reform, the World Bank, tobacco control policy,
energy policy, agricultural policy, pension reform and the impact
of public opinion. Features of the volume include:
- A focus on both the domestic and international drivers of
policy change
- Contributions from internationally-renowned political
scientists and policy experts
- Extensive qualitative data on policy change covering a range of
different topics and countries
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of public
policy, public administration and public management, and political
science programmes worldwide.
