A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path to More Effective Problem Solving, 4th Edition Description
With his original eightfold approach, Bardach encapsulates more than 35 years of teaching students effective, accurate, and persuasive policy analysis. This bestselling handbook presents dozens of concrete tips, interesting case studies, and step-by-step strategies for the budding analyst as well as the seasoned professional.
In this new edition, Bardach clarifies some of the book s exposition, paying particular attention to "design problems" and the choice of a "base case." Up-to-date examples, including a new set of environmental problems, make the book even more engaging.
Readers will also appreciate a sample document of real world policy analysis, a primer in how to "talk the talk" of policy analysis, and a cheat sheet of strategies for solving a host of policy problems.

The book will be very useful for students who have never studied public policy and who have never never written a public policy proposal. The book is clearly written and concise. It contains a sample proposal and also covers the important topic of not-for-profit organizations. As the title indicates, the book has a focus on the practical, which is comforting to students who may feel lost in the complex world of policy analysis and development.
By Bob Golden
This book is written in a style that is very approachable. It provides a practical guide to the issue of policy review and helps to equip the student with nearly a checklist of items that should be considered.
