The contributors focus attention on how policymakers craft their policy proposals, match them with public problems, debate their feasibility to build coalitions and dispute their acceptability as serious contenders for government consideration. Based on international case studies, this is an invitation to examine the uncertain and often indeterminate aspects of policymaking using qualitative analysis embedded in a political perspective. ER -
