Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and Alternatives, 3rd Edition
Public policy textbooks need to give students a thorough explanation of the policy process, but why do so many relegate policy analysis to a single, final chapter—or not cover it at all? In the third edition of their innovative text, Kraft and Furlong take a decidedly different tack. They introduce and integrate an evaluative approach to policy throughout their text, encouraging critical and creative thinking on issues ranging from economic policy and the financial bailout to homeland security and natural disasters.

Each selection incorporates voices from those at the heart of the policy process: people from lobbies, business, nonprofits, think tanks, academia, and government. After extensively researching each issue, CQ Researcher staff writers provide substantial background as well as current analysis. Each article also includes the following special features: a pro/con box that examines two competing sides of a single question; a detailed chronology; an annotated bibliography and web resources; and photos, charts, graphs and maps.
