Public Policy and Global Change

Public Policy and Global Change
- Used Book in Good Condition
Public Policy and Global Change offers an introduction to the study of American public policy and examination of significant issues on the American policy agenda. Unlike most public policy textbooks, it attempts to connect major challenges in American society to global economic, environmental, cultural, and political changes. The title is designed to help students understand the forces shaping their lives and American society in an age of globalization.

This knowledge is vital for students to practice democratic citizenship: casting informed votes, participating in the nation's political life, and helping others to reach a better understanding of American public policy. While effective as a standalone text, this book is a companion to Dennis Patterson, ed., Readings in American Public Policy. The two books used together offer broad coverage of important issues and a wide range of diverse viewpoints on these issues.

The selections in Public Policy and Global Change:

- Illustrate globalization's effects on American politics and policy.
- Provide a broad spectrum of views on significant policy issues.
- Examine the issue of rising inequality.
