| Synopsis: |
People who work in planning, management and service delivery in the public sector need to know how policy is translated into practice, what is happening, and whether a policy works. "Policy Analysis for Practice" introduces students and practitioners to the concepts, methods and techniques required to undertake the analysis and review of policy and its implementation. It combines material from public and social administration with examples and application to social policy and the social services. It focuses on developing understanding and skills for a growing area of practice. The book looks at ways to understand and analyse the main stages of the policy process: developing strategies, identifying aims, examining the situation, choosing methods, implementation and service delivery, and evaluating outcomes. It stresses the role of policy analysis as a political, and not just a technical, activity. "Policy Analysis for Practice" is an original, thought-provoking text with a strong applied focus.It offers: a systematic, accessible coverage of a wide-ranging literature; application to practical circumstances and the needs of people in the field; and, a direct relationship to vocational work in the management and administration of social services. It will be invaluable for students and practitioners in public policy, social policy and public sector management, in fields including central and local government, health and social care and the voluntary sector. |
