Public Policymaking

Public Policymaking, 9th Edition, is a textbook that explains the core principles of public policy with a central focus on how legislation is crafted.

The volume explores the policymaking process across distinct stages. It follows how issues move from initial problem identification to agenda setting, and through to policy evaluation, revision, or termination, showing how various factors influence government action.

To illustrate these ideas in practice, each chapter includes at least one case study demonstrating how general policy concepts apply to specific issues.
