Opis

This new volume in the International Library of Policy Analysis series presents for the first time a coherent overview of the strengths of and opportunities for policy analysis in Australia. Taking a broad view built on the recognition that government agencies are no longer the sole source of sound policy analysis it takes in contributions from the media, political parties, business, and non-governmental organizations. Written by experienced scholars, it is impressive in scope and analysis and will be essential for anyone studying policy in Australia or comparative policy analysis in general."
