Description

Book Synopsis
As technocratic public policy analysis approaches evolve to include greater sensitivity to political contexts, this volume synthesizes these former methods with new multi-actor, multiple perspective and poly-centric modes of analysis that are more inclusive.

Trade Review

From the reviews:

“Thissen, Walker, and their colleagues aim to present a way of incorporating rational analysis in political policy and decision making, where power play is common. … this book is a welcome addition to the literature. OR/MS practitioners working in the private sector might learn something by reading it; those working in public policy will certainly do so, as will students.” (Michael Pidd, Interfaces, Vol. 44 (1), January-February, 2014)
