About This Book

The second edition of this popular textbook combines coverage of public policies in different countries with the conceptual and methodological frameworks for analysing them. This new edition pays particular attention to the international contexts of ideas, interests and institutions in which decision makers operate. In addition, it considers the bilateral, multilateral and transnational aspects of policy-making in today's interconnected world. This is a core text for introductory modules on undergraduate and postgraduate public policy, public management and public administration programmes. In addition, it will be useful for those courses that take a comparative approach to specific policy areas such as welfare, health and education. With a focus on enabling students to draw their own comparisons, it is the ideal choice for lecturers across the world. New to this Edition:
- New and improved chapter structure places conceptual discussion before the empirical analysis, leading to a stronger emphasis on big picture questions throughout
- Increased attention to contemporary relevant policy issues such as migration, climate change and security
- Quantitative and descriptive data has been systematically updated

Why

Public 
Policies?
‱ 
We 
can 
compare 
different

The 
traditional 
distinction 
between 
the 
study 
of 
domestic 
policy-making 
(or 
‘low’ 
politics), 
and 
international 
policy-making 
(or 
‘high’ 
politics/foreign 
affairs) 
is 
starting 
to 
break 
down, 
with 
increasing 
numbers 
of 
studies 
in 
comparative 
public 
policy 
examining 
how 
domestic 
and 
international 
pressures 
on 
policy-making 
interrelate.
