About the Book:
The fully revised second edition of Theories of Public Policy and Policymaking offers a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the major theories that underpin the public policy process. Public policymaking is a multifaceted and complex process, involving numerous actors and institutions from various levels of government, interest groups, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
This textbook breaks down the complexity of public policy and helps students understand the major concepts and theories that shape the policymaking process. Topics such as multi-level governance, punctuated equilibrium theory, the Multiple Streams framework, feminist institutionalism, and evidence-based policymaking are thoroughly examined.
The second edition includes updated discussions on power, the institutional analysis and development framework, the narrative policy framework, and social construction, as well as increased coverage of policy formulation tools, the psychology of policymaking, and complexity theory. The book also considers the application of policy theory in the Global South, providing a broader, more inclusive perspective.
