The book introduces and integrates an evaluative approach to policy, encouraging critical and creative thinking on issues ranging from economic policy and the financial bailout to homeland security and natural disasters. The book starts with the basics and concisely reviews institutions, policy actors, and major theoretical models. The authors then discuss the nature of policy analysis and its practice, and show readers how to employ evaluative criteria in six substantive policy areas. At its core, the book guides readers through policy alternatives, arming them with analytic tools for understanding how the motivations of policy actors both within and outside of government influence a complex, yet comprehensible, policy agenda.
