Description: "This book has several goals. One important goal is to provide students with a broad survey of public policy theory in language that is both clear and comfortable for undergraduate students and useful for graduate students. A second goal is to offer brief historical sketches of the evolution of select public policies. ... A third goal is to use policy theory to explain continuity and change in public policies. ... A fourth goal is to provide an instructive examination of a wide range of different types of public policies."--Preface, p. xv.
