THE POLICY GAME defines the process and dynamics of U.S. public policy making. The text evaluates the complexities of the policy process and considers the implications public policy has for society. Students are introduced to major arenas, actors, theories, and methodologies associated with the policy making process. Later chapters then present in-depth analyses of specific policy areas, such as health care and education. Case studies, feature boxes, and interactive activities highlight specific policies, issues, and the applications of theories and models.
