Summary
Expanding traditional theories of policymaking through comparisons between policies implemented in Australia and New Zealand, this textbook shows how good analysis and advice improves the decisions of public officials. Aimed at managers, administrators, and students who want an integrated perspective on policy analysis and advising, the chapters cover the role of advisors and analysts, within and across jurisdictions, consider the viewpoint of local officials who protect their turf, and suggest new ways for officials to collaborate with outside experts
