The World of the Policy Analyst offers a detailed study of the policy analyst′s role in the policymaking process. By stressing the need of the analyst to recognize the political, social, and ideological forces that operate in the policy process while retaining analytical integrity, the authors bring a "real world" awareness to the understanding of the environment in which analysts must function. This edition covers recent efforts to integrate values and analysis, explores the implications of increasing fragmentation in the political system and the growing influence of think tanks at the national and state levels, and identifies the challenges posed by rapid scientific and technological change.

Review

"World of the Policy Analyst illuminates the historical, cultural, and institutional factors that invite as well as constrain analytical contributions to American public policy. A superb introduction for students of public policy, policy analysis, and ethical issues of governance. --William H. Dutton University of Southern California
