It has been extensively updated and expanded taking a comparative approach and addressing differences in the meaning and significance of policy in different political traditions. It is a book about policy - not about what governments do ('public policy') or about particular fields of policy (such as 'health policy' or 'education policy'), but about policy as a concept - an idea which can be used to make sense of the way in which we are governed, and make a difference to decisions that affect our lives. In clear language, the author addresses the fundamental questions about the place of policy in governing: who makes policy? where? why? what has been written about it? This is a book that is relevant for the student studying the subject, the public official or community activist engaged in making policy, and the interested member of the public who wants to know where policy comes from, and why it matters."--Jacket. 0aCiencia política17aBeleid.2gtt17aBegrippen.2gtt413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy034/2001054506.html
