About this book

Policy Paradox: The Art of Political Decision Making by Deborah Stone is a policy text that, unlike texts treating policy analysis and policy making as different enterprises, argues that you can’t take politics out of analysis. This revised edition was published by W. W. Norton & Company in 2001 as a 448-page paperback.

Stone shows how real-world policy grows out of differing ideals, and even differing definitions, of basic societal goals such as security, equality and liberty, and how these ideals often conflict in policy implementation. For this edition she has added a full-length case study on affirmative action as an appendix.
