Its main objective is to encapsulate the essential concepts, methods  and tools of policy analysis and to provide an insight into factors  acting within and around the policy analysis process. Based on the  collaborative research of Iris Geva-May and Aaron Wildavsky, the first  full draft of \u003cem\u003eAn Operational Approach to Policy Analysis: The  Craft\u003c\/em\u003e was completed just before Dr Wildavsky's untimely death.  Since that time, Dr Geva-May has worked to thoroughly revise and  update the manuscript. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAn Operational Approach to Policy Analysis: The Craft\u003c\/em\u003e can be  used by researchers in political science, or as a textbook for any  course in policy analysis, policy planning and evaluation. It will  serve as a valuable source for students of political science, public  policy, administration and management, as well as for policy analysts,  researchers and executives in both the US and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792397434\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4104-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312290222220,"sku":"9780792397434","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792397434.jpg?v=1771523553","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792397434","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
