The Public Policy Process. Este artículo no está disponible.The Public Policy Process

The Public Policy Process is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the process by which public policy is made.

Explaining clearly the importance of the relationship between theoretical and practical aspects of policymaking, this book gives a thorough overview of the people and organisations involved in the process. Changes to the complexity of the problems faced everywhere and to the way populist approaches to policymaking are emerging make new thinking essential about how the policy process is examined across the globe.

Key features and updates:

• Detailed discussion of challenges to effective policymaking in turbulent times, with special emphasis on crises and populism.
• Improved discussions about critical issues, such as governance, bureaucracy, global policies and artificial intelligence, among others.
• New material relating to countries from the Global South and unequal democracies.
• Further attention to comparative international examples from Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

This text is essential reading for students of public policy, public administration and management, as well as more broadly highly relevant to related courses in health and nursing, social welfare, environment, economics, development and local government.
