How do public problems become decisions, and what roles do values, institutions, and actors play? Martin Potůček and his colleagues introduce public policy as an interdisciplinary field, connecting a general theoretical framework with research applications.
The English-language textbook moves from concepts and underlying values to governance, instruments, and actors. The second part, prepared with Veronika Rudolfová, uses case studies of pension reforms. The eBook will appeal to students and readers involved in public life who are interested in knowledge-based decision-making. The excerpt clearly introduces the relationship between the social sciences and values.
Potůček's textbook connects public policy theory with cases of pension reform. It explains concepts, underlying values, and the workings of policy instruments and institutions.
