Rezensionen

'This is a cogent and well written exposition of the complex nature of the public policy process. It is a process shot through with differing values and self interest. Yet, as the book rightly argues seeking policy solutions to complex problems is a crucial part of the political realm. A key strength of the book is the way it combines theoretical analysis and a discussion of some of the key policy challenges of today.' - Hugh Atkinson, London South Bank University, UK.

'In Public Policy and Private Interest Jim Chandler gives the public policy text book a much needed make-over. Chandler covers a wide range of thinkers, concepts and debates expertly and with a welcome lightness of touch. The book will be an invaluable text for any undergraduate or masters level public policy course.' - Jonathan Davies, De Montfort University, UK.
