Since its debut, Policy Paradox has been widely acclaimed as the most accessible policy text available. Unlike most texts, which treat policy analysis and policy making as different enterprises, Policy Paradox demonstrates that "you can’t take politics out of analysis." Through a uniquely rich and comprehensive model, this revised edition continues to show how real-world policy grows out of differing ideals, even definitions, of basic societal goals like security, equality, and liberty. The book also demonstrates how these ideals often conflict in policy implementation.In this revised edition, Stone has added a full-length case study as an appendix, taking up the issue of affirmative action. Clear, provocative, and engaging, Policy Paradox conveys the richness of public policy making and analysis.
Himmelhoch – Abgrundtief
Aufstiege mit eigenen Schwingen oder per verzaubertem Fahrstuhl, aus machtbesessenem Übermut oder reiner Freude. Abgestürzt von felsigen Klippen oder aus rosa Wolken, um dann liegenzubleiben, ein neues Leben zu wagen oder gar am tiefsten Meeresboden weiter zu existieren? Die 13 Autor:innen des ForumWort Berlin loten in dieser Anthologie die Extreme zwischen Aufstieg und Fall aus. In ihren Kurzgeschichten, die sich zwischen Mystik, Fantasy, magischem Realismus und Science-Fiction bewegen, tummeln sich Feen, Vögel und andere Geflügelte, finstere Gestalten, Geister der Vergangenheit, eine KI, Heilerinnen und Todbringer – und sogar Nazis. Und manchmal sprießen im Moment tiefster Verzweiflung auch Flügel ... Mit Texten von: Cleo Belien, Hanna Bertini, Ulrich Conrad, Anne Danck, Laszlo Hartmann, June Is, Dr. Ilkay Koparan, Slavica Klimkowsky, Sylvia Krupicka, Andrea Maluga, Debsi Peps, Nicole Pfeiffer und Deborah B. Stone „Ein skurriler, faszinierender Flug durch die Abgründe und Sternstunden von dreizehn bewegenden Schicksalen. Eine Reise um den Planeten und mitten hinein in die unendlichen Weiten entfernter Galaxien und fantastischer Welten. Eine Begegnung mit weißen Leoparden und schwarzen Schafen, mit Heilerinnen, Wächtern, Feen und sich selbst.“ – Mary Cronos
