US society today is widely seen as being split into constituencies
which have sequestered themselves in two or more silos, with policy
discussion between them having become impossible. The treatise of
this book is that denizens of the United States need not be
confined in silos but, rather, that major economic policies -
drugs, alcohol, and suicide; schooling; major economic issues;
infrastructure, urban and regional policy; and the environment -
have powerful impacts on many members of each of these silos. From
this recognition comes an understanding that public policy
initiatives that treat each of the policy areas with equity are
conceivable and can in fact be implemented. In addition,
individuals will be able to engage in the destruction of
disrespectful silo-to-silo bickering and work to create a dialogue
based on mutual understanding that has been sorely missing for the
past several years. The author stresses that are few things that
are of more importance for society's collective future than
bridging these barriers. This passionate analysis of Public Policy
in Contentious Times will be of great interest to academics
interested in urban and regional issues and in the formation of
public policy. It will also be helpful to political consultants and
politicians, and individuals who are ardently interested in
contemporary politics.
