Inhaltsangabe

Thoroughly updated, with new and fresh examples, Beyond Policy Analysis examines the shifting environment of public sector governance. The key theme of the book is that the old tools of policy analysis are still useful but have to be re-thought in the light of major changes that have affected the way in which governments have operated in the last few years.The text goes through the stages of policy formulation, design, implementation and evaluation, but does so by looking at what's changed in the way governments have to operate today. Unlike other texts, Beyond Policy Analysis focuses on analytic tools and the conceptual side of public policy, blending strong theory with vivid examples and real world context.The text focuses on several key factors: globalization, information technology, changing public values, the demand for better more effective government, and life in a post-deficit world. Students and professors both appreciate Pal's accessible discussion of current trends, his focus on the latest research, and his systematic mapping of how policy analysis has continued to change.
