This major textbook presents for the first time a thoroughly modern
introduction to policy studies - one of the fastest growing areas
in the academic curriculum.Public Policy provides a lively, clear
and highly accessible introduction to the theory and practice of
public policy. Interdisciplinary and comparative in scope, this
text covers agenda setting, and problem definition, policy making,
implementation and evaluation. The book has been designed to be
used with a wide range of policy oriented courses. Wayne Parsons
surveys the development of the policy sciences over the past fifty
years and focuses on the key ideas, thinkers and concepts which
have shaped the field. His authoritative narrative draws on a wide
range of policy disciplines - including political science,
psychology, sociology, economics, and management. A central theme
of the book is its emphasis on taking a multi-framed approach to
analysing the increasingly complex policy problems and processes of
industrial societies. Unique features include case studies, guides
to further reading, background notes and numerous graphics to
support and illustrate the main text. Public Policy will be
welcomed as a comprehensive examination of the models and methods
needed to understand policy making in the modern state.
Comprehensive, critical and up-to-date, this textbook promises to
define the field for a new generation of students and teachers.
