This readable and conceptual approach to public policy carefully balances theory and practice—unlike most other texts, which either lack theory or lack practicality. The authors combine positivist and postpositivist perspectives on policy analysis, supported by interesting and useful teaching cases. Fully classroom tested, the text material explores the political basis of policy making and analysis, with a careful eye toward students' practical needs. Models and tools are provided, along with the analytical knowledge necessary for policy analysis. Carefully structured chapters offer instructors maximum ease and flexibility in the classroom.
