Biography
Mark E. Rushefsky is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Missouri State University, USA.
"This book is an excellent addition to the introductory public policy curriculum. It contains enough policy theory to ground students in the subject, while its topical chapters will stimulate interest and inspire classroom debate and discussion." – Thomas Birkland, North Carolina State University, USA
"It is rare that a text introduces the policy process as well as the history of specific policies in the United States. Rushefsky does both successfully, and students at the graduate and undergraduate level can use the policy analysis approach as the foundation for their work in public administration." – Christine A. James, Valdosta State University, USA
