Substance of Public Policy (Hardcover)

Nagel (U. of Illinois) is joined by over a dozen other scholars and professionals who work in diverse fields including energy production and environmental protection to compile this collection of essays on public policy. Contributions are arranged into six sections, each emphasizing a different policy field: economic, technological, social, political, international, and legal, with little connecting material to explain the larger purpose of the book. Articles analyze various policies using examples from welfare reform, public health, education, Social Security reform, and the relationship between the U.S. and the U.N.
