Timing Successful Policy Change - Lessons from the Civil Service

In Timing Successful Policy Change, Anna Marie Schuh examines four periods of civil service reform, especially their relation to legislative and administrative responses. An elucidation of the key role of the bureaucracy, the book focuses on the tensions between branches of government that drive policy-making. Schuh chooses to appropriate and expand upon John Kingdon's highly regarded political analysis, providing readers with a model that promises to guide public policy analysis far into the future.
