This book examines the historical development of policy analysis, as well as its use in legislative and regulatory bodies and in the federal executive branch. The essays show that policy-analytic expertise effectively improves governmental services only when it complements democratic decision making. When successful, policy analysis fosters valuable new ideas, better use of evidence, and greater transparency in decision processes.Aaron Wildavsky forum for public policy ;10.Policy sciencesUnited StatesEvaluationPolitical planningUnited StatesUnited StatesGovernment policyamerican policy.american politics.congress and public policy.congressional policy analysis.democratic decision making.government problem solving.history of policy analysis.intro to public policy.policy analysis in government.policy sciences.political planning in the us.political science.problem solving on capital hill.public policy analysis.public policy making.public policy.us federal government.us government policy.what is public policy.Policy sciencesEvaluation.Political planning361.610973Friedman Lee S.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910823134103321Does Policy Analysis Matter3990526UNINA
