Summary

Public policy permeates every aspect of our lives. It gives us roads, railways and airports, emergency services, industry development, and natural resource management. While politicians make the decisions, public servants provide analysis and support for those choices. Drawing on their extensive practical experience, the authors of the Australian Policy Handbook outline the processes used in making public policy. They systematically explain the relationships among political decision-makers, public service advisers, other community participants, and those charged with implementing the resulting programs. The fifth edition of this widely-used introduction is fully updated and includes new material on policy complexity, best practice and smart practice, disaster management and community engagement, and the increased role of non-profit organizations in delivering services.
