Riassunto

Public Policy: A Concise Introduction is a brief, straightforward book that quickly connects readers to the inner workings of American public policy. Authors Sara R. Rinfret, Denise Scheberle, and Michelle C. Pautz condense early chapters on theory and the policy-making process, allowing readers to take up key policy challenges, such as immigration, education, and health care, more quickly. The Third Edition has been updated to address issues around policymaking in the current political context, as well as recent policy questions around issues including health care, climate change, immigration, income inequality, tax and economic policy, and tuition costs.
