Synopsis

Now in a thoroughly-revised 5^th edition, An Introduction to the Policy Process provides students at all levels with an accessible, readable, and affordable introduction to the field of public policy. In keeping with prior editions, author Tom Birkland conveys the best current thinking on the policy process in a clear, conversational style. Designed to address new developments in both policy theory and policy making, this 5^th edition includes examinations of new policy theory developments like the emergence of the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) and "What Does the Research Say?" boxes to demonstrate the ways in which concepts are applicable to a range of policy problems. Firmly grounded in both social science and political science, An Introduction to the Policy Process provides the most up-to-date and thorough overview of the theory and practice of the policy process, ideal for upper level undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in Public Policy, Public Administration, and Political Science programs.
