Fully revised and updated for a 7th edition, The Public Policy Process provides:

• Clear exploration, using many illustrations, of how policy is made and implemented.
• A new chapter on comparative theory and methods.
• New material on studying advocacy coalitions, policy changes, governance, and evaluation.
• More European and international examples.

This edition appears at a time when its concern to emphasise the complex implications of modern 'governance', and the way in which the ultimate outcome of a new policy initiative will depend on policy formulation and implementation processes, is particularly relevant to the UK government's efforts to leave the European Union.
