About this title

Review

“Rulemaking’s logic was transparent and intuitive—a wonderful review of rule-making.”

(Paul Pavlich)

“Rulemaking (like any other form of policymaking) isn't as linear as we often think, but Kerwin and Furlong do a good job of organizing it in the most logical way possible.”

(Michael Gruszczynski)

“Rulemaking is readable for undergraduates of all levels.”

(Sara Rinfret)
