Summary:

"The abiding theme of this book, through all its editions, has been the policy analysis 'toolkit' and how it needs to adapt to a changing - and turbulent - context. Some policy tools make perfect sense in one context but not in another.In this edition, we continue the structure of each chapter, first outlining the intellectual origins and evolution of the topic within the field of public policy analysis, and then tackling the impact of new pressures and challenges. Other key themes explored in this edition are: technology and how governments around the world are grappling with both its potential and its threats; the trajectory and impact of globalization; and changing views on governance and public management."-- Provided by publisher.
