The second edition of this popular textbook combines coverage of public policies in different countries with
the conceptual and methodological frameworks for analysing them. This new edition pays particular attention
to the international contexts of ideas, interests and institutions in which decision makers operate. In addition,
it considers the bilateral, multilateral and transnational aspects of policy-making in today’s interconnected
world. This is a core text for introductory modules on undergraduate and postgraduate public policy, public
management and public administration programmes. In addition, it will be useful for those courses that take a
comparative approach to specific policy areas such as welfare, health and education. With a focus on enabling
students to draw their own comparisons, it is the ideal choice for lecturers across the world.
