公共政策领域最重要的专家之一在这里不仅试图描述什么是公共政策，而且考虑到过去二十年的社会变化，解释它的现状。为了从过去中学习，以建立公共政策作为一门学科本身的权利，Wildavsky追溯其主题，从20世纪60年代开始到20世纪80年代。从政治精英日益两极分化的前提出发，他展示了公共政策作为一个领域如何不得不面对日益严重的政治化。对于Wildavsky来说，公共政策领域需要更多地意识到政策制定的人性化方面：他强调在竞争环境中做出的政治选择以及维持这些选择的社会关系。当第一个专门致力于公共政策的专业学校在20世纪60年代成立时，伟大社会的计划是他们的主要推动力。随着伟大社会的幻灭和失败，公共政策的身份发生了转变。必须解决新的理论问题。在这本书中，维达夫斯基提供了一个不亚于政策制定实践的理论基础。亚伦·维达夫斯基是加州大学伯克利分校政治学教授。他在那里创办了公共政策学院，目前是院长。他曾是Russell Sage基金会的董事。1986年至1987年担任美国政治学协会主席。
One of the foremost experts in public policy here attempts not only to describe what public policy is, but given societal changes in the last two decades, to account for its present status. To learn from the past in order to establish public policy as a discipline in its own right, Wildavsky traces its motifs from their beginnings in the 1960s to the 1980s. Starting from the premise that there has been growing polarization of political elites, he shows how public policy as a field has had to face increased politicization. For Wildavsky, the field of public policy needs to incorporate more awareness of the human aspects of policy making: he emphasizes the political choices to be made in a competitive environment and the social relations that sustain them. When the first specialist schools devoted solely to public policy came into existence in the 1960s, the programs of the Great Society were their main impetus. With the disillusionment and failure of the Great Society, the identity of public policy became transformed. New theoretical issues had to be addressed. In this volume, Wildavsky provides a foundation for the theory no less than the practice of policy-making. "Aaron Wildavsky" is professor of political science, University of California, Berkeley.
