Anderson/Moyer/Chichirau's  PUBLIC POLICYMAKING explains public policy fundamentals by emphasizing the process behind the creation of legislation. As you examine each individual step of the policymaking process -- from policy formation and budgeting to implementation and impact -- you will gain a thorough understanding of how different factors influence public policy creation.

  • Each chapter features at least one case study that illustrates how general ideas are applied to specific policy issues.
  • Reflecting the latest research and developments from the field, the new Ninth Edition provides current coverage of the 2020 election, the COVID-19 pandemic and more.
  • Throughout the text, both current and historical examples of public policy issues in action provide compelling illustrations that illuminate chapter concepts, helping students make sense of even the most difficult topics as well as sparking lively class discussion.
