This well-regarded volume covers such enduring classics as Multiple Streams (Zahariadis et al.), Punctuated Equilibrium (Jones et al.), Advocacy Coalition Framework (Jenkins-Smith et al.), Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (Schlager and Cox), and Policy Diffusion (Berry and Berry), as well as two newer theories--Policy Feedback (Mettler and SoRelle) and Narrative Policy Framework (McBeth et al.).</p><p>The fourth edition now includes a discussion of global and comparative perspectives in each theoretical chapter and a brand-new chapter that explores how these theories have been adapted for, and employed in, non-American and non-Western contexts. An expanded introduction and revised conclusion fully examines and contextualizes the history, trajectories and functions of public policy research. Since its first publication in 1999, <i>Theories of the Policy Process</i> has been, and remains, the quintessential gateway to the field of policy process research for students, scholars and practitioners.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for Previous Editions: </p> <p>"<i>Theories of the Policy Process</i> simultaneously achieves two important goals: It engages policy process researchers in a discourse about the status and future direction of the field and provides students with a detailed overview of the leading policy process models, theories, and frameworks.
