Overview

This book both introduces and explores the "hows" and "whys" of the practices of public policy. It provides "reality-based" practical advice about how to actually conduct policy analysis and "demonstrate" the application of advanced analytic techniques. A five-part organization emphasizes that policy analysis is client-oriented and raises ethical issues; provides rationales for public policy-- describing the limitations to effective public policy and generic policy solutions; gives practical advice about implementing policy analysis; presents several examples illustrating how analysts have approached policy problems and the differences that their efforts have made; and summarizes the role and work of the analyst and challenges the analyst to both " do-well and do-good." For individuals interested in policy analysis and the analytical process.
