Policy Press Policy Analysis in Taiwan (International Library of Policy Analysis): Volume 5

Product Description The study of policy analysis in Taiwan began in the 1970s, however whilst other countries have recognised the need for detailed examination of the theory and practice of policy analysis at different levels of government, Taiwanese studies have remained limited. This book brings together for the first time a team of experienced and highly respected researchers from across Taiwan with expertise in policy analysis theory and practice in specific areas of government as well as in non-governmental organisations. This is a well-structured volume which will be highly relevant for students and academics interested in understanding and analysing politics and policy making in Taiwan.
