With the right information, we can develop public policies that work better. Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and Alternatives, Eighth Edition, helps students understand how and why policy analysis is used to assess policy alternatives. The text encourages them to not only question the assumptions of policy analysts, but also recognize how these strategies are used to support political arguments. The authors integrate an evaluative approach to six substantive policy areas to encourage critical and creative thinking on issues ranging from health care to climate change. Students come away with the analytic tools they need to understand that the motivations of policy actors--both within and outside of government-- influence a complex yet comprehensible policy agenda.
