Public Administration and Public Policy in Ireland Summary

Public Administration and Public Policy in Ireland: Theory and Methods by Maura Adshead

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to public policy and administration in Ireland, thereby bridging the gap between general texts on public policy and policy analysis and books on Irish politics. Each chapter covers one of the key issues in policy analysis, eg. rational choice, corporatism, and then illustrates this with an empirical Irish case study. With the inclusion of further reading, overviews of main concepts and source material, the editors provide a student-friendly textbook which fills an important gap in the available literature on Irish politics and public administration.

Public Administration and Public Policy in Ireland Reviews

'A useful contribtion to the literature, addressing a significant gap in the market of academic studies of policy, politics and public administration in Ireland.'

Robert Boyle, Institute of Public Adminstration, Dublin


'A stimulating and varied collection of contributions.'

Michael Connolly, University of Glamorgan

'The editors are to be congratulated. I would certainly recommend it for purchase by libraries and as supplementary reading on Irish politics courses and on public policy courses more generally.'

Michael Connolly, University of Glamorgan
