Explaining Public Policy<br />
J.A. Ch<strong>and</strong>ler, Sheffield Hallam University, UK<br />
Series: <strong>Routledge</strong> Textbooks in Policy Studies<br />

clear way for students who are new to this subject. It explains how policy originates,<br />
is refined, legitimised, implemented, evaluated <strong>and</strong> terminated in the forms of<br />
theoretical models of the policy process <strong>and</strong> which actors <strong>and</strong> institutions are most<br />
influential. The text also examines the values that shape the policy agenda, why<br />
policies succeed or fail, <strong>and</strong> the main policy theories. The text is fully illustrated<br />
throughout with a broad range of national <strong>and</strong> international case studies on<br />
subjects such as the banking crisis, the creation of unitary authorities <strong>and</strong> global<br />
environmental policy <strong>and</strong> regulation.<br />
