A Practical Guide For Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path To More Effective Problem Solving

This book explains the procedure of analyzing policy so it might be useful for someone to organize the procedure.

Bardach is Bodacious

Bardach is the essential policy analysis book. Apparently a student of his took avid notes in class; that combined with his own journals made for the most trunkated version of any specialized policy book. Written much like a reference manual with his own quips about analysis, it is easy to read and most informative.

Ciao!
