This second edition of Hill and Hupe's popular textbook introduces students to the major themes in public policy implementation and relates them to contemporary developments in thinking about governance.
The heart of the book develops a basic two-fold approach, firstly to understand the processes of implementation and secondly to address how these might be controlled and influenced. In light of the constantly changing nature of governance, Hill and Hupe suggest strategies for the future management of public policy implementation and the development of research agendas.
Designed for an international audience, this is a core text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying or conducting research in public policy, social policy, public management, public administration and governance.
