Comparative Public Policy: 1 2nd Edition

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.

New to this Edition:

– New and improved chapter structure places conceptual discussion before the empirical analysis, leading to a stronger emphasis on big picture questions throughout

– Increased attention to contemporary relevant policy issues such as migration, climate change and security

– Quantitative and descriptive data has been systematically updated
