It is the stuff of government, justifying taxes, driving legislation and shaping our social services. Public policy gives us roads, railways and airports, emergency services, justice, education and health services, defence, industry development and natural resource management. While politicians make the decisions, public servants provide analysis and support for those choices. This updated edition includes new visuals and introduces a series of case studies for the first time. These cases—covering family violence, behavioural economics, justice reinvestment, child protection and more—illustrate the personal and professional challenges of policymaking practice. Drawing on their extensive practical and academic experience, the authors outline the processes used in making public policy. They systematically explain the relationships between political decision makers, public service advisers, community participants and those charged with implementation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Australian Policy Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e remains the essential guide for students and practitioners of policy making in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40645423497313,"sku":"9781032399201","price":48.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26894727.jpg?v=1721374848","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032399201-australian-policy-handbook","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
