Combining philosophy with practical politics, an expanding area of
policy studies applies moral precepts, critical principles, and
conventional values to collective decisions. This evolving new
approach to policy analysis asserts that the same variety of
ethical principles available to the individual are also available
to make collective decisions in the public interest and should be
used.
Although policy analysis has long been dominated by assumptions
originally developed for the examination of markets, such as
efficiency, these essays by leading scholars - the best work done
in the field over the past three decades - explore alternatives to
the "market paradigm" and show how moral discrimination and choice
can extend beyond the individual to encompass public decisions.
Chapters by John Martin Gillroy and Maurice Wade review the
political philosophies of Immanuel Kant and David Hume as
backgrounds for the development of modern concepts of public policy
choice. They present this anthology as a first step in codifying
options, arguments, and methods within this important developing
area of policy studies.
