About this title

From the Back Cover:

These are just some of the relevant topics you'll encounter in Mark E. Rushefsky's stimulating account of public policy in the United States at the approach of the twenty-first century. Clearly organized, this book uses policy process as a framework for examining the central policy concerns of economics, foreign and defense policy, poverty and welfare, the environment, health, criminal justice, and education. It provides tools for evaluating the development of public policy in terms of policy process, political characteristics, ideology, policy goals, and policy solutions. Exceptionally relevant, this book explores the dynamic workings of public policy in the United States as it examines those challenges affecting this country's policy agenda. Focusing on the latest policy and legislation proposals, this Second Edition includes a new chapter on equality, revised material on foreign and defense policies, in addition to completely new case studies in "issues" chapters (2-9).
