Politici publice complexe

Igor Munteanu’s Politici publice complexe looks at state choices. It asks how those choices affect people. It shows how formal and informal ties shape public action. Some ties stem from politics, trade, and money. Others stem from social life and culture.

This study of public policy helps readers judge state choices. It tracks each stage of a policy’s life. It also looks at ways to study these stages. It explores ties between state staff and groups with shared aims. It asks how families and local groups make shared choices. It asks the same of nations.

Munteanu shows how to judge costs, results, timing, and fairness. He shows how policy studies help readers weigh facts. These tools also help them weigh one course against another. Case studies show the hard parts of this work. They show how policy can bring change. They also show how it can keep things as they are.

Cartier published this edition in 2016. It is a hardcover with 716 pages.
