The field of public policy is so broad, diffuse, and balkanized that imposing order on it from an instructor's perspective-let alone from a student's perspective- can be a difficult and frustrating undertaking. The Public Policy Theory Primer, Fourth Edition, is designed to provide a firm grounding in public policy while also offering an introduction to the research agendas that are rising fastest from its foundations. Authors Kevin B. Smith and Christopher W. Larimer utilize a unique approach: they define the key research questions in the field and then organize policy studies into coherent subfields that address those questions.
In delving into newly published research and rapidly developing literatures, this book continues to ask a fundamental question in the field of public policy studies: Does such a field really exist? This substantially revised new edition draws clear connections between theory and practice, examines whether policy process models can help illuminate program adoption and outcomes, explores the Narrative Policy Framework's commonalities with rationalist and post¿positivist policy analysis camps, investigates the "deservingness heuristic" and the notion of the "public" in policy design, and makes a stronger case for the role that human psychology plays in policy choices. The authors do not simply report on these sorts of changes and updates; instead, they meticulously integrate them into their coherent framework of public policy studies. This novel structure, along with an appendix of sample discussion and exam questions, makes The Public Policy Theory Primer, Fourth Edition, a clear, organized, and thought¿provoking introduction to the field, indispensable for any public policy course.
