Description

Move beyond basic instruction and develop a deeper understanding of policy analysis with this text from Cambridge University Press. While many resources focus solely on how to use specific analytical tools, this book takes a different approach by encouraging readers to look critically at the strengths and limitations of those methods. It examines the underlying assumptions analysts make when applying standard tools or framing specific problems. Through various examples, including issues related to science and technology, the text explores the complex issues of professional responsibility, ethics, and values inherent in research and policy work. Readers will gain insight into how policy problems are formulated, such as those framed in terms of utility maximization. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the critical dimensions of policy analysis and the real-world impact of analytical decisions.
