Description

Facts, Values and the Policy World by Phil Ryan is an insightful exploration of the relationship between values and policy analysis. The author argues that the pursuit of objective analysis can be misguided, as policy decisions inherently involve value-based judgments. This accessible book examines the limitations of alternative approaches to policy analysis, revealing how these methods often fail to deliver effective solutions. By challenging the notion of a 'value-free' ideal, Ryan provides a foundation for a more comprehensive approach to policy analysis, one that acknowledges the importance of values in shaping public policy. By shedding light on the flaws of influential alternatives, Ryan offers a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between facts and values in the policy world.
