How do we incorporate analytical thinking into public policy
decisions? Stuart Shapiro confronts this issue in Analysis and
Public Policy by looking at various types of analysis, and
discussing how they are used in regulatory policy-making in the US.
By looking at the successes and failures of incorporating
cost-benefit analysis, risk assessment, and environmental impact
assessment, he draws broader lessons on its use, focusing on the
interactions between analysis and political factors, legal
structures and bureaucratic organizations as possible areas for
reform.Utilizing empirical and qualitative research, Shapiro
analyzes four different forms of analysis: cost-benefit analysis,
risk assessment, environmental impact assessment, and impact
analysis. After interviewing nearly fifty individuals who have
served in high levels of government, and who have made countless
regulatory policy decisions in their careers, Shapiro argues that
advocates must become less ambitious and should craft requirements
for simpler and clearer analysis. Such analysis, particularly if
informed by public participation, can do a great deal to improve
government decisions. As this book details the relationship between
analysis and institutional factors such as politics, bureaucracy,
and law, it is appropriate for a variety of readers, such as
scholars of policy, students, scholars of regulation, and
congressional and state legislative staff looking to create new
analytical requirements.
