This is an insightful overview of what is happening at the cutting edge of professional public policy analysis. Written by a well-known expert, the survey assesses the many and varied aspects of the policy studies discipline. Stuart Nagel has provided an analysis of the profession that will be useful to practitioners and academics, as well as students and teachers, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This survey begins by suggesting ways for professionals to become more effective and interdisciplinary in their approaches to dealing with public policy. The author also analyzes cross-cutting governmental activities and different theoretical perspectives. He points to means for achieving policy goals, for selecting among alternative policies, and to the organizations and institutions that are concerned with public policy. A bibliography notes the most important recent publications dealing with professional developments in the field.

The key purpose of this book is to apply decision-aiding software and super-optimum solutions to the public policy problems of developing nations. Decision-aiding software refers to microcomputer programs that can process a set of societal goals to be achieved, public policy alternatives for achieving them, and relations between goals and alternatives. Super-optimum solutions refer to policy alternatives that enable liberals, conservatives, or other major viewpoints to exceed their initial best expectations simultaneously. This approach can be applied to policy problems that relate on a general level to technology, economics, sociology, and political science. This approach is also applicable to more specific policy problems that relate to labor-management relations, transportation, agriculture, education, employment, and defense.
