Title: Community policy analysis modeling
Description: "The responsibility for designing, planning, and managing locally important policies is shifting from federal to state and local governments. As this shift progresses, there is a growing need for qualified public servants and others responsible for shaping policy to be aware of how to deal with these new responsibilities and challenges."

"Community Policy Analysis Modeling is the culmination of years of research and testing models that address economic development, land use, natural resource management, education, health care, public safety, and social amenities. It provides the philosophy underlying these models, detailed instructions for model construction, and also key examples of modeling applications. The authors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in training state and local policy makers in how to interpret the output of policy models, how to assess local issues, analyze options, and develop new models that address policies within their own communities."--Jacket.
