Public Policy: A New Introduction Christoph Knill and Jale Tosun is an English-language textbook on public policy and the policy cycle. This fully revised book provides an up-to-date overview of the theory and practice of policy-making.
The book addresses key questions in public policy: what is public policy, who are the actors involved, and how does policy change over time? In addition to the central institutions and policy processes, implementation, evaluation, and governance are also discussed. Special attention is given to recent developments, such as climate policy, political economy, and international changes driven by Brexit and populism.
This textbook is essential for students whose programs focus on public policy and the policy process, for example in political science or public administration. The content aligns with topics such as political theory and national government policy.
