Political Innovation in America: The Politics of Policy Initiation

"In his recognition of the importance of ideas and institutions in politics, in his limited use of the jargon of political analysis, and in his evident wit and ready humor, Nelson Polsby is himself being innovative in this study of the policy process. Political Innovation In America is a welcome addition to the public policy literature." -William F. Connelly, Jr., Benchmark "This book will have a significant impact in restoring the links between politics and public policy. It's safe to say that our understanding of both of these subjects will never be the same again."-Francis E. Rourke, The Johns Hopkins University
