About this book
The world of policy represents the confluence of a number of intellectual strands in which the clinician brings science together with intuition, and uses his or her experience to interpret the evidence and make recommendations for treatment. This important volume brings together leading scholars to explore the "how" of thinking about policy - the questions, values, judgments and experience the analyst brings to bear.

Reviews
"This admirable book performs two important tasks for readers interested in policy analysis. The primary benefit of reading this book is that it provides an excellent treatment of a number of perspectives on educating future policy professionals. But this is more than a book about pedagogy. It also has a number of profound insights into policy analysis as a craft and an intellectual undertaking. It should not be missed by any student of public policy."
- B. Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of Government, University of Pittsburgh
"Thinking Like a Policy Analyst brings back into focus research in policy analysis that has been pushed into the background the last decade due to the argumentative turn and breaths the ambitions and ideals of the founding fathers. Adopting insights from other disciplines, this book explores new frontiers and opens new windows. By providing students with the tricks of the trade, with an emphasis that skills can be learned by doing, this volume is extremely relevant and useful for instruction in classroom."
- Frans K.M. van Nispen, Erasmus University of Rotterdam
"In focusing on clinical reasoning processes in policy analysis and other professional fields, Iris Geva-May and her colleagues make a valuable contribution to the literature on public policy education and practice. This is a cutting edge book."
- Laurence E. Lynn, Jr., Texas A&M University
