Synopsis
Understanding, Informing and Appraising Public Policy in America integrates theory and practice in the study of public policy as it helps students understand how and why policymakers make the choices that they do.
The two-pronged approach utilizing the normative study of relationship of self#&45;interest to the public interest and empirical theory to identify policymakers' behavior identifies the standards of judgment that citizens and policymakers use to define problems and evaluate alternative solutions, and how America's political culture influences how we think about these matters. Throughout the texts the students also looks at how the design of out policy-making institutions shape the politics of policy making in the United States.

Synopsis
This unique new text gives students the philosophical and analytical tools they need to place today's policy issues within a normative context, evaluate the policy actions of our government, and understand and appraise the choices our policymakers make. Combining practical, real world examples with both empirical and normative theory, this book uniquely provides students of public policy with the tools they need to understand and appraise policymaking in the United States. Empirically, it gives students the theoretical approaches that will help them understand why policymakers behave as they do. Normatively, it helps students to determine the appropriate role of government, the relationship of self-interest and public interest, the standards of judgment that citizens and policymakers can use to define problems and evaluate alternative solutions, and how America's political culture influences how we think about these matters.
