For nation-states, the contexts for developing and implementing
policy have become more complex and demanding. Yet policy studies
have not fully responded to the challenges and opportunities
represented by these developments. Governance literature has drawn
attention to a globalising and network-based policy world, but
politics and the role of the state have been de-emphasised. This
book addresses this imbalance by reconsidering traditional
policy-analytic concepts, and re-developing and extending new ones,
in a melded approach defined as systemic institutionalism. This
links policy with governance and the state and suggests how
real-world issues might be substantively addressed.
Policy Analysis in Australia offers a distinctly Australian
interpretation of policy scholarship with eighteen chapters
strongly reflecting the outstanding contributions of Australian
scholars to the field of public policy. It provides a coherent
overview of the strengths and opportunities for policy analysis in
Australia. It recognises that government agencies are no longer
regarded as the sole source of sound policy analysis, and takes a
broad view of policy analysis capacity, both within institutions at
all levels of government, and beyond government in the media,
political parties, business, and non-government associations. It
provides a valuable contribution to Australian scholarship about
policy analysis in academic, professional, teaching and learning
contexts, and is a key addition to research and teaching in
comparative policy analysis and policy studies more generally.
The lead guitarist of Grammy Award-winning mega-band KoRn tells the
incredible story of his life after leaving the hardcore music scene
and of God leading him back to the band-now in paperback. He left
KoRn to help himself. He went back to help others. And along the
way, he nearly lost everything. A life-changing spiritual awakening
freed Brian "Head" Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol
and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn
in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the
perils of fathering a teen lost in depression and self-mutilation
to the harsh realities of playing solo and surviving the shattering
betrayal of a trusted friend. In this intensely inspiring
redemption saga, perhaps most inspiring is Brian's radical decision
to rejoin KoRn and reconcile with the tribe of people he once
considered family in the metal music scene. Brian returned to his
musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his
story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is
simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself, as
long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.
