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.
