商品簡介
Now in a thoroughly revised third edition, Public Policy: Preferences and Outcomes is designed to help undergraduate students enrolled in a public policy course discuss policy issues and understand the ways in which public policy is grounded in normative theory. This approachable book examines the role of political theory in the governance process and the effect of public opinion on policy priorities and government. It introduces students to the tools of policy analysis and the most up to date policy theories in conceptualizing public policy in several major policy areas. New to this edition:
- A thoroughly revised and updated chapter on public policy models, including new sections on the importance of science, pluralism, institutional analysis and design, multiple streams, the advocacy coalition framework, the punctuated equilibrium framework, policy diffusion, and the constructivist approach.
- New sections on welfare economics and the public good, the nuclear arms race, the War on Terrorism, and the Quadrennial Defense Review, contemporary policing techniques and issues, and renewable energy.
- A restructured and rewritten chapter on social policy and equality to include sections on employment, LGBTQ rights and same sex marriage, the legalization of marijuana, and income inequality.
- A completely new chapter on immigration and homeland security
Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, and offering instructors a variety of ways to tailor the book to their classroom setting and course priorities, Public Policy: Preferences and Outcomes, 3e is a highly flexible and effective teaching resource for introductory public policy courses at the undergraduate level and serves as an ideal refresher book for students at the graduate level.
