Volume One of the Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis, "Theory
and Methods in Comparative Policy Analysis Studies" includes
chapters that apply or further theory and methodology in the
comparative study of public policy, in general, and policy
analysis, in particular. Throughout the volume the chapters engage
in theory building by assessing the relevance of theoretical
approaches drawn from the social sciences, as well as some which
are distinctive to policy analysis. Other chapters focus on various
comparative approaches based on developments and challenges in the
methodology of policy analysis. Together, this collection provides
a comprehensive scholastic foundation to comparative policy
analysis and comparative policy studies. "Theory and Methods in
Comparative Policy Analysis Studies" will be of great interest to
scholars and learners of public policy and social sciences, as well
as to practitioners considering what can be learned or facilitated
through methodologically and theoretically sound approaches. The
chapters were originally published as articles in the Journal of
Comparative Policy Analysis which in the last two decades has
pioneered the development of comparative public policy. The volume
is part of a four-volume series, the Classics of Comparative Policy
Analysis including Theories and Methods, Institutions and
Governance, Regional Comparisons, and Policy Sectors. Each volume
showcases a different new chapter comparing domains of study
interrelated with comparative public policy: political science,
public administration, governance and policy design, authored by
the JCPA co-editors Giliberto Capano, Iris Geva-May, Michael
Howlett, Leslie A. Pal and B. Guy Peters.
Volume Four of the Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis, "Policy
Sectors in Comparative Policy Analysis Studies" contains chapters
concerned with comparison within disciplinary policy sectors. The
volume contains detailed analyses of policies within six major
policy sectors, and illustrates the important differences that
exist across policies healthcare, environment, education, social
welfare, immigration, and science and technology.The reader will
find some common aspects and dimensions - theoretical or
methodological - across all policy domains, as well as differences
dictated by the characteristics of the discipline or the locus in
which the policy point at issue takes place. Indeed, some scholars
have argued that the differences and similarities that exist across
and within policy sectors can transcend the differences or
similarities across political systems. "Policy Sectors in
Comparative Policy Analysis Studies" will be of great interest to
scholars and learners of public policy and social sciences, as well
as to practitioners considering what can be reliably
contextualized, learned, facilitated or avoided through
lesson-drawing. The chapters were originally published as articles
in the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis which in the last two
decades has pioneered the development of comparative public policy.

Volume Two of the Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis, contains
chapters concerned with "Institutions and Governance in Comparative
Policy Analysis Studies". They highlight that at the core of any
policy making, the different institutions and modes of governance
have a significant effect. Questions about the impact of governance
have become more central to comparative policy analysis as scholars
have given more attention to globalization, organizational cultural
differences, policy learning, transfer, and diffusion. The chapters
included in this volume tackle the nature of policies and policy
analytic practices within and across organizations, actors and
institutions as well as among governance modes. The chapters
demonstrate the ways in which institutions and governance in the
public and private sectors, shape policies, and conversely, how
policy choices can shape the institutions associated with them.
Other chapters focus on how the diffusion of knowledge and lesson
drawing address challenges of policy making, cooperation and
harmonization. "Institutions and Governance in Comparative Policy
Analysis Studies" will be of great interest to scholars and
learners of public policy and social sciences, as well as to
practitioners considering what can be reliably contextualized,
learned, facilitated or avoided given their own institutional or
governance systems. The chapters were originally published as
articles in the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis which in the

The Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis is a four-volume set,
compiled of articles, spanning twenty years, from the highly
respected Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis. The first volume
addresses questions about theory and methodology in the comparative
study of public policy. The second explores different modes of
governance and comparative studies of institutions. The third
volume contains chapters that are regional in focus and conduct
comparisons in specific policy sectors. The fourth and final volume
looks at comparisons within disciplinary policy sectors, including
healthcare, environment, education, social welfare, immigration,
and science and technology. Further, in each volume there is a new
chapter on comparisons between the disciplines of public policy,
public administration, governance and political science by leading
scholars. The Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis will be of
great interest to scholars and practitioners of public policy, and
social science more generally. The chapters were originally
published as articles in the Journal of Comparative Policy
Analysis.
Volume Three of the Classics of Comparative Policy Analysis,
contains chapters concerned with "Regional Comparisons and Policy
Analysis" - one of the most prevailing approaches in comparative
public policy. Through the prism of inter-jurisdiction comparisons
of similarities and variations, they address comparisons in
specific policy sectors, governance or institutional constructs,
and political regimes. The foci are, nevertheless, on those
comparisons between countries or regions, which help to lesson-draw
by identifying and understanding the variation in policy analysis
and policy making that exists within or across regions. One benefit
of regional comparisons is that it often allows studies to hold
constant many variables, ranging from colonial legacy to federal
systems, or from language to specific traditions, and more
effectively isolate dependent variables. Regional organizations
like the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) or European Union are also considered as catalysts for
regional policy approaches and harmonization, and occupy a major
role in this volume. The chapters address a broad and diverse
number of countries and geographical areas: Latin America, North
America, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, the Baltic
states, the Nordic states, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern
Europe, and Europe as a whole. "Regional Comparisons and Policy

The aim of An Operational Approach to Policy Analysis: The Craft is
to cut through the ambiguity and contradictions inherent in policy
analysis by means of an operational-prescriptive approach. Its main
objective is to encapsulate the essential concepts, methods and
tools of policy analysis and to provide an insight into factors
acting within and around the policy analysis process. Based on the
collaborative research of Iris Geva-May and Aaron Wildavsky, the
first full draft of An Operational Approach to Policy Analysis: The
Craft was completed just before Dr Wildavsky's untimely death.
Since that time, Dr Geva-May has worked to thoroughly revise and
update the manuscript. An Operational Approach to Policy Analysis:
The Craft can be used by researchers in political science, or as a
textbook for any course in policy analysis, policy planning and
evaluation. It will serve as a valuable source for students of
political science, public policy, administration and management, as
well as for policy analysts, researchers and executives in both the
US and abroad.
This Handbook presents the first comprehensive study of policy
analytical practices in comparative perspective. It explores
emerging developments and innovations in the field and advances
knowledge of the nature and quality of policy analysis across
different countries and at different levels of government by all
relevant actors, both inside and outside government, who contribute
to the diagnosis of problems and the search for policy solutions.
Handbook chapters examine all aspects of the science, art and craft
of policy analysis. They do so both at the often-studied national
level, and also at the less well-known level of sub-national and
local governments. In addition to studying governments, the
Handbook also examines for the first time the practices and policy
work of a range of non-governmental actors, including think tanks,
interest groups, business actors, labour groups, media, political
parties and non-profits. Bringing together a rich collection of
cases and a renowned group of scholars, the Handbook constitutes a
landmark study in the field.
