How Change Happens-- Or Doesn't

12/1/2014

How do transformative changes in public policy actually happen? In "How Change Happens -- Or Doesn't," Elaine Kamarck delves into the complex and often turbulent world of US politics to examine just that. From the analysis of policy initiatives to the realities of partisan politics, Kamarck traces the paths of several modern policy initiatives to dissect the reasons why some initiatives succeed against all odds while others fail or languish for years. Her unique perspective and insights shed light on how change really happens within the complex space where politics and policy meet.
