Evidence, Argument, and Persuasion in the Policy Process

touchy feely book that might best be understood by its age -- written about 25 years ago. The points it makes about policy analysis often seem quaint, and are generally articulated in such general terms it is hard to understand how they could or would be put into operation. However, overall the book really helps you put policy analysis in context, and so is very useful for that purpose alone.

hard to understand

Majone's book is truly amazing. It encompasses the main aspects and offers a different and criative view of the policy process. Its indispensable!
