Book Description

Exploring the interplay between empirical and normative analysis,
which is a crucial issue, Handbook of Public Policy Analysis: Theory,
Politics, and Methods provides a broad, comprehensive perspective on
the field. This book examines the historical development of policy
analysis as well as its role in the policy process. Presenting
empirical methods that have defined this endeavor, this text then
explores the various theories generated by these methods. Normative
and ethical issues surrounding the practice of public policy analysis
are also addressed. Discussion of theoretical debates that have
defined this field in recent years-such as postpositivist,
interpretivist, and social constructionist-completes the coverage.
