This book provides a valuable historical account of the development of policy analysis as a field. Its chapter on rationality and decision-making is particularly useful for social policy students just coming into policy analysis. The book has been recommended for supplementary reading, rather than recommended, only because it is based on the American context. That said, the book is replete with concepts and useful illustrations that will surely provide students the opportunity to transfer their learnings to the European context.
