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...

Why Politics Fails
The Five Traps of the Modern World & How to Escape Them
2023 || Paperback || Ben Ansell || Veltman Distributie Import Books
Why do the revolving doors of power always leave us disappointed? In Why Politics Fails, award-winning Oxford professor Ben Ansell shows that it's not the politicians that are the problem, it's that our collective goals result in five political 'traps'.
Democracy: we all want a say in how we're governed, but it's impossible to have any true 'will of the people'. Equality: we want to be treated equally, but equal rights and equal outcomes undermine each other. Solidarity: we want a safety net ...
Theories of Violent Conflict / 2nd edition
An Introduction
2016 || Paperback || Jolle Demmers || Taylor & Francis
This revised and updated second edition introduces students of violent conflict to a variety of prominent theoretical approaches, and examines the ontological stances and epistemological traditions underlying these approaches. Theories of Violent Conflict takes the centrality of the group as an actor in contemporary conflict as a point of departure, leaving us with three main questions. What makes a group? Why and how does a group resort to violence? Why and how do or dont they stop? The book...
Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding

This new Routledge Handbook offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the meanings and uses of the term peacebuilding, and presents cutting-edge debates on the practices conducted in the name of peacebuilding.
