Description and Table of Contents
Description
This work summarizes and evaluates 20 basic theories of public policy-making, spelling out the most recognized and relevant theories in this field of analysis. It also assesses these theories as to their metapolicymaking capacities and examines the direct connections between the strategy used to decide a policy and the outcome arrived at by the choice of strategy. The "metapolicymaking" aspect of the volume is an examination of the linkages between theory and outcome, to determine under what conditions a theory or theories should be used to achieve a particular outcome.
