Policy Analysis: Concepts and Practice

Autor David L. Weimer, Aidan R. Vining
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2017
Often described as a public policy “bible,” Weimer and Vining remains the essential primer it ever was. Now in its sixth edition, Policy Analysis provides a strong conceptual foundation of the rationales for and the limitations to public policy. It offers practical advice about how to do policy analysis, but goes a bit deeper to demonstrate the application of advanced analytical techniques through the use of case studies. Updates to this edition include:
  • A chapter dedicated to distinguishing between policy analysis, policy research, stakeholder analysis, and research about the policy process
  • An extensively updated chapter on policy problems as market and governmental failure that explores the popularity of Uber and its consequences
  • The presentation of a property rights perspective in the chapter on government supply to help show the goal tensions that arise from mixed ownership
  • An entirely new chapter on performing analysis from the perspective of a public agency and a particular program within the agency’s portfolio: public agency strategic analysis (PASA)
  • A substantially rewritten chapter on cost–benefit analysis, to better prepare students to become producers and consumers of the types of cost–benefit analyses they will encounter in regulatory analysis and social policy careers
  • A new introductory case with a debriefing that provides advice to help students immediately begin work on their own projects
Policy Analysis: Concepts and Practices remains a comprehensive, serious, and rich introduction to policy analysis for students in public policy, public administration, and business programs.

Descriere

Often described as a Public Policy ‘bible,’ Weimer and Vining remains the essential primer it ever was. Now in its 6th edition, Policy Analysis provides a strong conceptual foundation of the rationales for, and the limitations to, public policy.

Recenzii

"Weimer and Vining's Policy Analysis has long been a core textbook for students learning policy analysis and for good reason. Policy Analysis has a balanced approach of teaching core economic principles, demonstrating the important role of politics of adoption and implementation, and training students in key research and communication skills needed to construct applied analyses. This new edition maintains the core strengths and includes updated cases studies, new research on addiction as a policy rationale, and an updated chapter on gathering evidence to support policy making. It remains a classic."
Andrew Pennock, University of Virginia, USA

"This new condensed edition effectively provides well-structured foundations to new readers in better understanding the subject of policy analysis supported by theoretical frameworks explained separately for problem analysis and solution analysis. The book ensures its relevance to the wide audience of policy makers, experts and graduate students with diverse backgrounds dealing with policy issues."
Veli Kreci, South East European University, North Macedonia

"Since 1992, Weimer and Vining's Policy Analysis has been the most thorough, comprehensive, and respected textbook for serious students of public policy. The book provides a detailed understanding of theory and practice in addressing society's complex and contemporary public problems. The seventh edition continues to underscore the critical importance of professional policy analysis in informing the changing world of governance and analytics."
Michael A. Pagano, Dean Emeritus, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, University of Illinois Chicago, USA

"Policy Analysis is an essential text for students and practitioners in the field of public policy. While many authors offer excellent guidance on the practice of policy analysis, Weimer and Vining go beyond practice to show us how economic theory provides a theoretical foundation for our work and the tools to better align the problems we face with effective solutions."
Mia Bird, Assistant Research Professor, Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"Intensified uncertainty makes policy analysis a must for those who seek to improve public well-being. Weimer and Vining, once again not only lay the foundations of policy analysis but also provoke us with state-of-the-art  policy analysis."
Anat Gofen, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel
