International Public Policy Analysis is the first textbook to take a truly comparative and crosscultural approach, organized around policy issues, to examine important policy “lessons” that affect the everyday lives of citizens. Authors George M. Guess and Thomas Husted demonstrate that incremental, marginal changes in sectoral policy systems using cross-national lessons can lead to larger changes in country policies, democracy, and better governance.
Jargon-free and using a cross-cultural approach, the individual chapters in this book utilize a three-level analysis to review the policy issue areas, present analytic tools and frameworks, and provide cases/exercises for practice in applying the methods and frameworks. International Public Policy Analysis is an essential upper-level undergraduate textbook for courses on comparative public policy, policy process, political economy, and international policy analysis, and may also be used as required reading in introductory policy and public affairs courses at the graduate level.
George M. Guess is Adjunct Professor in the School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs at George Mason University, USA.
