Organizations for Policy Analysis: Helping Government Think

Do legislators select policy analyses objectively? How much influence do these organizations have? Do these organizations enhance the policy process? This book addresses these key questions while giving a historical overview of the genesis, activities and orientations of fourteen policy analysis organizations.Almost all of the material is written by analysts who themselves are, or have been, members of the units under discussion. They write about the founding, funding and findings of the organizations and try to place them within the political and economic context of the period.Weiss, Carol H. is the author of 'Organizations for Policy Analysis: Helping Government Think', published 1991 under ISBN 9780803943599 and ISBN 0803943598.
