Government at Work: Policymaking in the Twenty-First Century
Congress provides chapter-length treatment to reveal the
similarities and fundamentals of policy development while also
illustrating the unique issues and obstacles found in each policy
environment. This book's scope spans the entire policymaking
process, exposing the readers to the interaction among all major
power centers, ranging from interest groups, media, courts,
Congress, the president, and the federal bureaucracy. It shows the
dynamic nature of American policymaking system. The approach
employed in this book treats events, such as Congress passing a law
or the Supreme Court announcing a ruling, as important steps in the
policy process rather than as merely ends unto themselves. This
volume focuses on major legislation passed by Congress since the
turn of the century. It features one case study per chapter,
demonstrating how issues rise to the national agenda, pass through
the congressional labyrinth to become public policies, are
implemented by the federal bureaucracy, receive feedback from
affected elements of the society, and ultimately evolve over the
years.
