Public Policy Praxis / 4th edition
A Case Approach for Understanding Policy and Analysis
2020 || Paperback || Randy Clemons e.a. || Taylor & Francis
Public administration and policy analysis education have long emphasized tidiness, stages, and rationality, but practitioners frequently must deal with a world where objectivity is buffeted by, repressed by, and sometimes defeated by value conflict. Politics and policy are "messy" and power explains much more about the policy process than does rationality. Public Policy Praxis, now in a thoroughly revised fourth edition, uniquely equips students to better grapple with ambiguity and complexity.
By emphasizing mixed methodologies, the reader is encouraged, through the use of a wide variety of policy cases, to develop a workable and practical model of applied policy analysis. Students are given the opportunity to try out these globally applicable analytical models and tools in varied case settings (e.g., county, city, federal, international, plus urban and rural) while facing wide-ranging topics (starving farmers and the red panda in Nepal, e-cigarettes, GMOs, the gig economy, and opioid abuse) that capture the diversity and reality of public policy analysis and the intergovernmental and complex nature of politics. The fourth edition expands upon its thorough exploration of specific tools of policy analysis, such as stakeholder mapping, content analysis, group facilitation, narrative analysis, cost-benefit analysis, futuring, and survey analysis...

De ravage van tien jaar Rutte
2020 || Paperback || Thierry Baudet e.a. || Forum Uitgevers
De afgelopen tien jaar is roofbouw gepleegd op ons land. De verschillende coalities van VVD, CDA, PvdA, D66 en ChristenUnie waaraan Mark Rutte leiding gaf kozen voor records aan immigratie, honderden miljarden aan 'klimaatbeleid' en steeds maar meer macht voor de EU. De lasten stegen naar ongekende hoogtes en de publieke sector werd verwaarloosd. Over de hele linie viel ons land ten prooi aan een duizelingwekkend aftakelingsproces: ziekenhuisbedden werden wegbezuinigd, de thuiszorg werd uitge...

The book's hybrid org...

Premier Mark Rutte
Paperback || Arno Korsten || Boom uitgevers Den Haag
Premier Mark Rutte schreef parlementaire geschiedenis. Hij leidde drie kabinetten, vertegenwoordigde het land in Brussel en trad aan als crisismanager.
Is Mark Rutte een politiek genie? Hij bleek pragmatisch, wendbaar en resultaatgericht. Zijn contactuele vaardigheid, dossierkennis, debatkwaliteit en taallenigheid kwamen van pas om meerderheden te verwerven en uit te bouwen. Hij past in een tijd waarin regeren ook reageren en improviseren is. Steeds meer Nederlanders schonken hem het vertrouwen.
In dit boek worden de sterke en zwakke kanten van de premier op een rij gezet. Kreeg het premierschap meer allu...
