Public Policy Decisions

The book traces the historical evolution of policymaking while using contemporary examples to illustrate key concepts. It progresses logically from core concepts and theoretical frameworks to the stages of the policy process, including agenda-setting, policy formulation, and regulatory rulemaking. It then investigates implementation challenges, such as bureaucratic obstacles and unintended consequences, before concluding with policy evaluation and reform.

Through case studies and diverse research sources, the book provides a practical framework for analyzing policy proposals, evaluating effectiveness, and advocating for meaningful change.
