This book is divided into six logical parts. The first part deals with basic methods and concepts, including those associated with win-win analysis whereby conservatives, liberals, and other major viewpoints can all come out ahead of their best initial expectations simultaneously. The next five chapters deal with five different fields of public policy. Economic policy includes food prices, small business and labor productivity. Technology policy emphasizes transportation, but also energy and communication. Social policy deals with education, ethnic relations and poverty. Political policy deals with voting rights, public administration, federalism and separation of powers. International policy deals with international war, unification, military bases and regional development. These controversies occur across developing regions, including Africa, Asia, East Europe and Latin America, but they are also applicable to public policies in industrial countries.
