Policy Press Public policy resources

Product Description Building on Knoepfels previous book, Public policy analysis, this book offers a conceptually coherent view of ten public policy resources: force, law, personal, money, property rights, information, organisation, consensus, time and political support. The book demonstrates the interplay of the different resources in a conceptually coherent framework and presents numerous illustrations of ways of mobilising the resources and managing them in a sustainable way, resource exchanges and the role of institutions governing the interrelationships between actors and resources. The book will be valuable to postgraduate students as well as those working in policy programming and implementation across both public and private sectors and in non-governmental organisations. Review A new and innovative way of encouraging students of public administration to differently conceptualise the policy process. The comparative approach makes this a useful learning tool. --Dr. Karl O'Connor, Ulster University About the Author Peter Knoepfel is Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Law, Criminal Sciences and Public administration of the University of Lausanne and Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Law of the Taras Shevchenko University of Kiev.
