The fully revised second edition of this textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to theories of public policy and policymaking. The policy process is complex: it contains hundreds of people and organisations from various levels and types of government, from agencies, quasi- and non-governmental organisations, interest groups and the private and voluntary sectors. This book sets out the major concepts and theories that are vital for making sense of the complexity of public policy, and explores how to combine their insights when seeking to explain the policy process. While a wide range of topics are covered - from multi-level governance and punctuated equilibrium theory to 'Multiple Streams' analysis and feminist institutionalism - this engaging text draws out the common themes among the variety of studies considered and tackles three key questions: what is the story of each theory (or multiple theories); what does policy theory tell us about issues like 'evidence based policymaking'; and how 'universal' are policy theories designed in the Global North? This book is the perfect companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying public policy, whether focussed on theory, analysis or the policy process, and it is essential reading for all those on MPP or MPM programmes.

All defence deals are shrouded in varying degree of secrecy. Secrecy and transparency are anti-thesis of each other. Lack of transparency creates doubts about their uprightness. In India's case, every major defence deal gets mired in allegations of irregularities and financial impropriety. The book identifies stages of the acquisition process that are vulnerable to manipulation and finds the integrity pact to be an infructuous addendum. Implementable corrective measures have been suggested to make defence acquisitions corruption-free. Seven major defence procurements that have come under a cloud in the recent past have been examined in-depth for alleged infirmities and transgressions. Deals for Agusta Westland helicopters and Rafale fighters have been dealt in detail as they continue to hog media attention to date. Agents are omnipresent in all trade transactions the world over. They bring buyers and sellers together; assist in negotiations; and provide post-contract services. However, their role in defence deals has been a subject of intense debate in India for the last four decades now. The book probes the intractable dilemma facing the government.

Описание: The very nature of social policy is that it poses to be very simplistic if one aspect is considered but proves to be very complex if it is looked as a whole. To understand the complex concept of social policy, we have very limited sources. Here lies the relevance of this textbook. As the name Understanding Theories and Concepts in Social Policy suggests, this book explains the concept of social policy as a whole. Humans are constantly in pursuit of improving and developing their lives. This is clearly evident as man constantly reforms the areas of education, health care, labor, criminal justice, and social care among many others. This textbook outlines the broad scope of social policy as an area of study and introduces the reader to major theories and concepts within the discipline of social policy.It critically examines theoretical approaches such as Liberalism, Marxism, Social Democracy, neo-liberalism, post-modernism etc. as well as approaches from the perspective of social movements, especially feminism. In addition to that, the book also discusses sensitive topics, which are important part of social policy, like community and citizenship, equality and social justice, needs, liberty and freedom, and challenges and future directions. The central theme of this book is to develop an understanding of the links between social policy theory, ideology, policy, and politics and practice so that readers can see the relevance to their own lives. It also explores different perspectives and visions on social policy and their implications for understanding and addressing major social problems in society. Central to the current study of social policy is the recognition that society is divided by differences such as age, gender, income, ethnicity and so forth.The writing of this textbook has been truly a collective effort. It has been benefitted and blessed from the inputs received from various field experts and laureates in various sorts of forms, from university professors and school teachers and many other forces which are not mentioned here. In writing this textbook our sincere effort has been to address the concerns raised regarding the obsolete ideologies and stereotypes against social policy by various practitioners. We have tried to collect various suggestions by the experts in this field under one roof for the convenience of the readers and students alike. Furthermore, we have given points and counterpoints on the topics discussed, to engage the students and make the chapters lot more interesting. In keeping with the general guidelines, we have tried to reduce the load and attempted to make it as comprehensible as we can for the students and readers referring to this textbook. How far we have succeeded in our efforts, is left for the students and readers of this textbook to judge. We hope that students who go through this textbook will develop a proper scientific attitude and perspective for analyzing the social policy within the world around them.We take great pleasure in placing this textbook in the hands of students, readers and teachers and also express our sincerest gratitude to all those who have provided their unstinted support in its writing and production.
