Presenting a broad, comprehensive perspective, the Handbook of Public Policy Analysis: Theory, Politics, and Methods covers the historical development of policy analysis, its role in the policy process, and empirical methods. The handbook considers the theory generated by these methods and the normative and ethical issues surrounding their practice.Written by leading experts in the field, this book-Deals with the basic origins and evolution of public policy Examines the stages of the policy-making processIdentifies political advocacy and expertise in the policy processFocuses on rationality in policy decision-making and the role of policy networks and learningDetails argumentation, rhetoric, and narratives Explores the comparative, cultural, and ethical aspects of public policy Explains primary quantitative-oriented analytical methods employed in policy researchAddresses the qualitative sides of policy analysis Discusses tools used to refine policy choicesTraces the development of policy analysis in selected national contextsThe Handbook of Public Policy Analysis: Theory, Politics, and Methods describes the theoretical debates that have recently defined the field, including the work of postpositivist, interpretivist, and social constructionist scholars.
