Research in Social Problems and Public PolicyJ A I Press Limited, 1993 - 312 pages Even today, many people think of 'social problems' as involving poor and powerless individuals in society. "Research in Social Problems and Public Policy" seeks to improve the balance by adding a focus on important and powerful institutions.

The papers discuss policy sciences, public policy analysis and public management, addressing operations and design issues for government organizations. |
