This book reconsiders traditional policy-analytic concepts, and re-develops and extends new ones, in a melded approach defined as systemic institutionalism. This links policy with governance and the state and suggests how real-world issues might be substantively addressed.

For nation-states, the contexts for developing and implementing policy have become more complex and demanding. Yet policy studies have not fully responded to the challenges and opportunities represented by these developments. Governance literature has drawn attention to a globalising and network-based policy world, but politics and the role of the state have been de-emphasised.

Industry Reviews
"Crowley et al seek the best of both worlds. By focusing on the contribution of policy theory to policy analysis, they both remove a temptation for scholars to speak only to themselves, and show how to produce practical lessons for problem solving." ? Paul Cairney, University of Stirling
