Framed within the context of comparative international policy discussions, this volume examines how recent public policy design has been influenced by combinations of market based, regulatory and legal mechanisms. Five major public policy areas are discussed: health, education, environment, gun control, and budgeting. The contributors identify competing forces in policy design and implementation and then investigate the benefits of accessible policy structures and policy making processes. They ask whether recent changes in policy design have been beneficial to the public.

Salvador Dalí's Art and Writing, 1927-1942 examines the evolution of Dalí's art during the 1920s and 30s, when he was associated, first with the Catalan avant-grade, and then with the Surrealist group in Paris. During this period, Dalí's painting style changed radically, a phenomenon that has never been fully accounted for in the extensive literature on this subject. Haim Finkelstein's study is the first to examine these writings in detail as the foundation for the evolution of Dalí's unique artistic vision.
