Assessing American public policy.Why do policymakers select certain problems for attention and ignore others? Why do some policy ideas fail and other succeed? In addition to the President, Congress and Supreme Court what other institutions are influential in shaping public policies? How do policymakers design and implement policies? How do those policies ultimately influence the nation? Providing answers to these and other questions are the focus of this book. The practice of politics and policymaking is complicated, involving thousands of people in government institutions and the private sector. Although each public law and public policy has a unique history, Politics and Public Policy is designed to help students understand the larger patterns of the policy making process.Political planningUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesPressure groupsUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and governmentPolitical planningPolitical culturePressure groups320.60973Baumer Donald C.1950-1061681Van Horn Carl E.CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910149362303321Politics and public policy2519659UNINA
