Public Policy Praxis : A Case Approach for Understanding Policy and Analysis
Public administration and policy analysis education have long emphasized tidiness stages and rationality but practitioners frequently must deal with a world where objectivity is buffeted by repressed by and sometimes defeated by value conflict. Politics and policy are messy and power explains much more about the policy process than does rationality.

Students are given the opportunity to try out these globally applicable analytical models and tools in varied case settings (e. g. county city federal international plus urban and rural) while facing wide-ranging topics (starving farmers and the red panda in Nepal e-cigarettes GMOs the gig economy and opioid abuse) that capture the diversity and reality of public policy analysis and the intergovernmental and complex nature of politics. The fourth edition expands upon its thorough exploration of specific tools of policy analysis such as stakeholder mapping content analysis group facilitation narrative analysis cost-benefit analysis futuring and survey analysis. Along with teaching how to the authors discuss the limitations the practical political problems and the ethical problems associated with different techniques and methodologies.
