Tools for Policy Analysis and Management
Anyone involved in the policy process analyzes policy in some sense. However, those who analyze and manage policy professionally must use a variety of tools to do their job effectively. This book, Tools for Policy Analysis and Management, discusses topics and presents tools and methodologies central to the tasks of policy analysis and management. The general approach and the specific suggestions made have been developed over many years of teaching policy analysis to graduate students as well as executive education workshops for policy makers and analysts.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ANALYSIS: WHAT AND WHY? Why environmental policy analysis? Environmental issues are growing in visibility in local, national, and world arenas, as a myriad of human activities leads to increased impacts on the natural world. Issues such as climate change, endangered species, wilderness protection, and energy use are regularly on the front pages of newspapers. Governments at all levels are struggling with how to address these issues. Environmental policy analysis is intended to present the environmental and social impacts of policies, in the hope that better decisions will result when people have better information on which to base those decisions. Conducting environmental policy analysis requires people who understand what it is and how to do it. Interpreting it also requires those skills. We hope that this book will increase the abilities, both of analysts and of decision-makers, to understand and interpret the impacts of environmental policies. Policy analysis books almost invariably begin by pointing out that policy analysis can take many forms. This book is no different. As you will see in Chapter 1, we consider policy analysis to be information provided for the policy process. That information can take many forms, from sophisticated empirical analysis to general theoretical results, from summary statistics to game theoretic strategies.
Rethinking Policy Analysis and Management
