Summary
Policy analysis in Taiwan began in the 1970s, but while academics in other countries have recognized the need for detailed examination of the theory and practice of policy at different levels of government, Taiwanese studies have remained limited. This book brings together for the first time a team of experienced and highly respected researchers from across Taiwan with expertise in policy analysis theory and practice in both government and non-governmental organizations.
