This revised edition begins by defining American public policy and its environments, as well as identifying the governmental structures through which policy is designed and reshaped. Then it explains the procedure of policy making, from the agenda-setting stage to implementation through evaluation. The author analyzes the problems, goals, and important issues in various substantive policy areas, including economic, environmental, and defence policy. Part four is devoted to an explanation of policy analysis, in a cost-benefit and an ethical context.
