Opis

Constitutes both an exploration of distinct, and radically different, models for analysis, and a reference for multiple methodologies that come under the umbrella term 'analysis'. This book shows how, in order to bring relevance back to policy analysis, we must address policy situations as complex phenomena and employ multiple approaches.
