This groundbreaking study systematically treats recent policymaking
trends, starting with a reconsideration of salient theoretical
issues of policymaking and its study and culminating with a survey
of current policy-related predicaments in various countries. Dror
proposes that the task for social science research is to uncover
underlying causes of policymaking inadequacies. Standard research
methods, Dror states, have been unable to uncover the realities of
important decisions made inside governments. In order to gain an
understanding of pressing predicaments, he believes that
policymakers need to examine the foundations of contemporary
practices of present assumptions, and that they need a multiplicity
of approaches to policymaking. After prescribing a set of
requirements that policymaking must satisfy in order to adequately
respond to challenges, Dror posits several improvements needed in
education and in policy decision making. The book concludes with an
extensive bibliography, including numerous important German works
not found in other English-language studies. This book supplements
the earlier basic theory and models propounded in Dror's Public
Policymaking Reexamined by dealing with current trends. As a guide
to public policy literature and related works, it will be
invaluable to students and practitioners.
