A useful guide for undergraduate and graduate students, this is a comprehensive overview of the best-known policy-making models. It covers Lindblom's incrementalism, the Madisonian model, the responsible parties model, group theory, and the privileged position of business in capitalist societies.

Offers a defense of incrementalism: the theory that the policymaking process typically should involve bargaining, delay, compromise, and, therefore, incremental change. This title argues that incrementalism is one result of a checks-and-balances system in which politicians may disagree over what we want to achieve as a nation.
