Synopsis
Gerston (San Jose State U.) presents an undergraduate-textbook on the origins, formation, and implementation of public policy in the United States. Over the course of seven chapters he discusses the institutional context of public policy, triggering mechanisms of policy initiatives, the "public agenda" as a barometer of issues that have reached the attention of policy makers, the roles of policy makers, implementation, and evaluation.
