Everyone once in a while a work comes along that redefine the way humanity organizes itself. The Bible, the Magna Carta, the Unibomber Manifesto, and Mr. Dunn’s book all can be placed in that category.
Having attended his classes while in graduate school, I internalized his teachings and made myself a better bureaucrat than anyone could has imagined. Every day I use his book to enlighten me on the manners and ways of building a better bureacracy in my village panchayat in Viknashapathanam District of Andra.
This book is only book I use.

This book is an precise and extensive endeavor for understanding the problems, boudaries and potential use and application of knowledge for improving governmental performance.
Te basis of Dunn’s approach to policy analysis, is that it depends to the production and transformation of five policy relevant information (about policy problems, policy futures, policy actions, policy outcomes and policy performance) through five policy-analytic procedures (problem-structuring, forecasting, recommendation, monitoring, and evaluation).
Perhaps the most important distinction is that problem structuring, “…which affects the use and asessment of the other four procedures, is really a metamethod (method of methods) that funtions as central regulator of the overall process of policy analysis.” (page 65)
This analytical framework provide one of the most single effective way to analyze public policies and government programs, where the most important analyst’s role is both to generate useful knowledge for decision making in all phases of policy process, and to generate plussible arguments by analythical procedures.
It is an ideal book for bachelor and graduate students interested in public problems that face governements, and in the role that can play all policy analyst in policy making.
Dunn’s contribution to the study and use of policy analysis in academic and professional activities its out of question. 06-04-200
