Mar 02, Mayim de Vries rated it it was ok Shelves: casp. Too American to be of use outside US. When I saw it first, I expected to find cases about public policy issues from all around the world. Instead the author suggest specific focus on the US government policy. The advantage of the book is that the author explain hard terms in a very simple language, so it is easy to read and comprehend.
For example, public policy is defined as "whatever governments choose to do or not to do". The subjects are brief and up to the point. View 1 comment. This was the textbook for my "Issues in American Politics" university class.
My professor, who by her own admission has a liberal bias I agree , feels the author has a conservative bias I also agree. She uses this book partly because of the contrasting viewpoint to her own, but also because she feels there simply isn't anything better available. Dye's conservative bias doesn't seem too severe and only seemed particularly noticeable to me on a few issues. It's certainly not FOX News. Some of th This was the textbook for my "Issues in American Politics" university class.
Some of the political theory is especially dry, but fortunately the book doesn't dwell on it and mostly presents the issues and the different viewpoints related to them. My main criticism of this textbook is that it is very much a typical textbook: unexciting and overpriced.
Oct 30, Paulatics rated it liked it Shelves: political , non-fiction. I use this as a text in my Intro to Public Policy course. The book is in its 14th edition, so Professor Dye's framework is the gold standard. It provides an excellent basis for class discussions by explaining the academic models of public policy. Shelves: college-textbooks. That jargon defeats the purpose of clarity for students. I appreciate the straight shooter writing style that is clear and easy to understand. Indeed I used at as a standard refernce book in formulating my views on a range of topics even though I am an Australian looking at an American academic text book.
Apr 16, A. Richard rated it liked it. Good overview. Of course, it isn't possible to address all the ins and outs of public policy in 16 chapters. However, I was put off by some dubious assertions the author makes. For instance, the author asserts the income gap between men and women can be mostly accounted for by the fact men still hold far more management positions than females.
Very misleading. He does some of these topics an injustice while shedding light on others. Feb 13, Lamia rated it really liked it. It's straight-forward and approachable. Mar 06, Machmud Cahudi added it. Jan 30, Steven Peterson rated it liked it. Thomas Dye is a well known and respected political scdientist. In this volume, he discusses a variety of approaches to understanding public policy.
