Six Decades of Public Policy: A Personal Reflection
Abstract
The past 60 years have been ones of great progress for public policy in the United States, followed by substantial decline. This period also experienced substantial development of policy theory, although that theory may not be as effective when dealing with the increased elite domination in contemporary politics. This personal reflection on these years links these two aspects of public policy.
