Policy analysis in Australia -

Résumé :
Policy Analysis in Australia offers a distinctly Australian interpretation of policy scholarship, taking a broad view of policy analysis capacity, both within institutions at all levels of government, and beyond government in the media, political parties, business, and non-government associations.
