Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society Summary

Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society: A Guide to Civic Engagement by Larry N. Gerston (San Jose State University, California, USA)

Provides a clear and concise overview of public policymaking, designed to equip citizens to participate more effectively in the policymaking process.
Includes information on new modes of public policymaking participation, impediments to participation, and the role of whistleblowers as part of bureaucratic responsibility.
Offers 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.
Student projects are offered 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.
May be used in introductory courses on public policy, internships, or service-learning programs, but it equally serves as an invaluable resource for any organized effort to involve citizens in community service and the exercise of civic responsibility.

Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society Reviews

Professor Gerston has brilliantly identified and explained the key role that civic engagement plays in our constitutional democracy. By both identifying and explaining how to make a real difference in our communities, he has made an invaluable contribution to the field of civic and constitutional education. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to help strengthen their own piece of America read this book!
