Recenzii

"As ever, Birkland brings the policy process to life with precision, clarity, and the kind of intellectual generosity students feel on every page. This edition sharpens the tools, updates the debates, and reaffirms why this book has become the field's trusted compass."
Michael D. Jones, Clemson University, USA 
“Birkland's An Introduction to the Policy Process is my go-to textbook for teaching about the policy process. It has a strong foundation in the academic research on policy process and policy design but is presented in a format that is digestible to undergraduate and graduate students. The sixth edition continues to be an indispensable resource.”
Daniel J. Mallinson, Penn State Harrisburg
“The sixth edition of An Introduction to the Policy Process remains the premier textbook for students of public policy and policy process theory in particular. This latest edition is both comprehensive and remarkably accessible, offering a rich array of examples that illuminate complex theoretical concepts with clarity. An Introduction to the Policy Process is an essential read for undergraduate and graduate students alike.”
Rob A. DeLeo, Professor of Public Policy, Bentley University
“Birkland’s latest edition – of what should rightfully be considered an iconic textbook – remains the premier source for introducing policy processes from a U.S. perspective. This updated edition thoughtfully incorporates the latest developments in American democracy and politics, providing students and scholars with the essential tools to understand a rapidly evolving policy landscape.” 
Christopher M. Weible, University of Colorado Denver
“Thomas Birkland’s sixth edition continues his excellent work of explaining the policy process within the context of the American political system that will engage students across a variety of disciplines. His balance between theory and practice helps the reader see the impact of the policy process in their daily lives.”
Bob Choquette, Teaching Professor, School of Planning, Public Policy and Management, University of Oregon

Paul Manna, Hyman Professor of Government, William & Mary
