RE: Public policy analysis sources
Raul, Not unrelated at all! I can't wait to see everyone's responses. I especially like the following qualitative analytical texts: Clark, Tim W. 2002. The policy process: a practical guide for natural resource professionals. Yale University Press, New Haven, CT. Brewer, Garry D. and Peter deLeon. 1983. The foundations of policy analysis. The Dorsey Press, Chicago. I use Clark annually in my advanced (i.e., senior) undergraduate environmental policy seminar. Cheers, Rich -- Richard L.

Re: Public policy analysis sources
Raul, One classic that immediately comes to mind is: Eugene Bardach (2000), A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path to More Effective Problem Solving, New York: Seven Bridges Press.
