Description
Book SynopsisThis book reconsiders traditional policy-analytic concepts, and re-develops and extends new ones, in a melded approach defined as systemic institutionalism. This links policy with governance and the state and suggests how real-world issues might be substantively addressed.
Trade Review“Offers a timely premise – that the needs of public policy have not been particularly well served by policy literature. Taking issue with common refrains like a need for governance, the book’s chapters provide an expansive critical canvas for a sort of public policy soul-searching.” International Journal of Public Administration
