zur Neuauflage

Thoroughly revised, reorganized, updated, and expanded, this widely-used text sets the balance and fills the gap between theory and practice in public policy studies. In a clear, conversational style, the author conveys the best current thinking on the policy process with an emphasis on accessibility and synthesis rather than novelty or abstraction. A newly added chapter surveys the social, economic, and demographic trends that are transforming the policy environment.

Thomas A. Birkland is the William T. Kretzer Professor of Public Policy in the Graduate School of Public Affairs at North Carolina State University.
