Review:
"The feedback I get from students has always been very positive for this text. It is an approach that public administration students and professionals are often very comfortable with."
"The Lester and Stewart text provides an excellent overview of the policy process giving public administrators a balanced and detailed perspective of their special roles and responsibilities."
"Three strengths of the text: Excellent overview of the policy process, including a good discussion of policy learning and change; very good examples of several policy domains, and an excellent introduction to policy science."
