Peter DeLeon Libros

Focusing on the development of a democratic and participatory approach to policy analysis, this book explores theoretical frameworks and practical applications. It emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in the policy-making process, aiming to empower communities and enhance civic engagement. By examining various methodologies, the text seeks to redefine how policy analysis is conducted, advocating for a system that values diverse perspectives and collaborative decision-making.

Provides a theoretical model of political corruption, and applies it to five recent scandals involving the US government, all, oddly enough, during the Reagan administration: HUD, Wedtech, military procurement, savings and loan, and Iran/Contra. DeLeon (public policy, U of Colorado) also suggests what private citizens can do about the problem. Paper edition (839-6), $16.50. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
