Summary: Framed within the context of comparative international policy discussions, this volume examines how recent public policy design has been influenced by combinations of market-based, regulatory and legal mechanisms. Five major public policy areas are discussed: health, education, environment, gun control, and budgeting. The contributors identify competing forces in policy design and implementation and then investigate the benefits of accessible policy structures and policy-making processes. They ask whether recent changes in policy design have been beneficial to the public. |
