The Australian Policy Handbook: A Practical Guide to the Policymaking Process - Catherine Althaus

Descriere The Australian Policy Handbook: A Practical Guide to the Policymaking Process - Catherine Althaus

\nThe seventh edition of this classic handbook on the policy process is fully updated, featuring new material on policy making amid local and global disruption, the contestable nature of modern policy advice, commissioning and contracting, public engagement and policy success and failure. \n \nThe Australian Policy Handbook shows how public policy permeates every aspect of our lives. It is the stuff of government, justifying taxes, driving legislation and shaping our social services. Public policy gives us roads, railways and airports, emergency services, justice, education and health services, defence, industry development and natural resource management. While politicians make the decisions, public servants provide analysis and support for those choices. This updated edition includes new visuals and introduces a series of case studies for the first time. These cases--covering family violence, behavioural economics, justice reinvestment, child protection and more--illustrate the personal and professional challenges of policymaking practice. Drawing on their extensive practical and academic experience, the authors outline the processes used in making public policy. They systematically explain the relationships between political decision makers, public service advisers, community participants and those charged with implementation. \n \nThe Australian Policy Handbook remains the essential guide for students and practitioners of policy making in Australia.\n
