Recenzje

"More than a supplemental guide to Theories of the Policy Process: The book offers a fantastic overview and inspiring insights into gathering and analyzing data about policy processes. Thereby, the book not only provides the necessary tools for empirically-grounded research, but also for advancing theories of the policy process"

Florence Metz, University of Twente, Netherlands

"Methods of the Policy Process articulates best practices for applying policy process theories while emphasizing flexibility and creativity. It is an essential resource for scholars seeking to design and conduct rigorous, theory-driven research that better illuminates the complex dynamics of modern policymaking"

Elizabeth A. Koebele, University of Nevada, USA

"An eclectic methodological roadmap for new and experienced scholars. The volume edited by Christopher Weible and Samuel Workman presents a wide variety of research strategies, from different theoretical traditions in policy studies.
