This widely acclaimed book provides a clear and concise overview of public policymaking, designed to equip citizens to participate more effectively in the policymaking process. It gently introduces the reader to the players and institutions that comprise the public policymaking process of American society, and it demonstrates the many access points in the public policymaking process where one can participate. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>This fully updated third edition includes: <br/><br/>A discussion of growing modes of public policymaking participation, including social media and voting by mail.<br/>An evaluation of the impediments to participation, including voter suppression.<br/>An examination of the role of whistleblowers as part of bureaucratic responsibility.<br/>All new case studies throughout the book on topics of interest to students and citizens alike, such as the policy response to COVID-19, George Floyd and police reform, homelessness, and the Affordable Care Act. <br/>Student projects throughout the text, along with a glossary, and extensive coverage on Project Citizen, a format that provides students with hands-on tools for participating in the policymaking process. <br/> <br/><br/>Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society, Third Edition may be used in introductory courses on public policy, internships, or service-learning programs.
