Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a practical guide to making policy choices, with the focus on providing decision makers with the tools to create processes which deliver the best available choices. The style is "hands on" throughout, with lists, charts, graphics and extensive cross-referencing of material. The prototype of this work is the "Queensland Policy Handbook", compiled by a team under Peter Bridgman and published by the then Office of the Cabinet whose head was Dr Glyn Davis. The content of the work is original and national in focus. It sets out, in accessible, non-technical language, the principles and practices which are of interest to students or practitioners in any Australian jurisdiction.
