Synopsis

This book has two primary purposes: (1) to contribute toward a more realistic understanding of policy analysis by examining the normative assumptions which are involved in its use; and (2) to explore the essential elements of the policy process with which analysts must work if their efforts are to have reasonable chances of influence. The aim of this book is to enhance understanding of the capabilities and limits of policy analysis by placing it in the political and normative world in which it functions.
