 | Agenda Setting and Public Policy in Africa Subjects: Politics & International Relations; Comparative Politics; International Politics; Public Administration & Management; African Politics; Public Policy; Agenda Setting and Public Policy in Africa examines how decision makers have managed and mismanaged public policy issues in sub-Saharan Africa. It analyses the neglected issue of how ideas about public policy are generated, by whom and for what purpose. Persistent problems such as political instability, environmental pollution, famine, hunger, desertification, rent-seeking and incessant intra-conflicts across the continent are explored in a systematic and structured manner. Each contributor proffers convincing solutions to clearly identified problems. Well-researched and solution orientated, this book will engage scholars and policy makers who are interested in public policy and development issues in Africa. Kelechi A. Kalu is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Northern Colorado and the current President of the Southwestern International Studies Association. |
