5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for post-graduates studying public policy, July 24, 2005

Chang Rui Hua "Rui Hua" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Public Policy: An Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Policy Analysis (Paperback)

This is indeed a 'must-have' for post-graduates studying public policy. Strength of this book derives from the clear structure of the text and ideas which flow from the first to the last chapter. Extremely useful for beginners or even intermediate users. I would strongly recommend this book.
