商品簡介
The first five chapters of this work by Hayes (political science, Colgate U.), individually introducing and assessing what he sees as the most useful models for understanding policy-making processes in the United States--Lindblom's incrementalism, the Madisonian model, the responsible parties model, group theory, and the privileged position of business in capitalist societies--were intended to serve as the entirety of the text. However, in considering the possibilities for non-incremental change takes place, he developed two new typologies, which are also presented here alongside case studies of federal policy making.
