Reinventing Rationality

The book delves into the intricate dynamics between regulatory reform movements from the 1970s and the federal bureaucracy in the U.S., particularly during the Reagan administration. It provides a critical analysis of how "regulatory analysis" was integrated into bureaucratic decision-making, supported by case studies and interviews with key stakeholders. The author evaluates the effectiveness of these reforms and offers insights for improving regulatory analysis, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in political science, public policy, and administration.
