History and Context in Comparative Public Policy Paperback / softback
Edited by Douglas E. Ashford
Paperback / softback
Description
Douglas E. Ashford joins a growing number of scholars who have questioned the behavioralist assumptions of much policy science.
The essays in this volume show why policy analysis cannot be confined to prevailing methods of social science.
Policy-making behavior involves historical, contextual, and philosophical factors that also raise critical questions about the concepts and theory of the discipline.
Ashford asks difficult questions about the contextual, conjunctural, and unintentional circumstances that affect actual decision-making.
His bridging essays summarize opposing viewpoints and conflicting interpretations to help form a new agenda for comparative policy analysis.
