The Political Economy of Public Policy
Author: Alena Kimakova
Congratulations to SPPA Professor Alena Kimakova. Her new textbook is a practical toolkit for mastering political economy analysis.
Designed for students and professionals alike, The Political Economy of Public Policy develops essential analytical skills for policy analysis and decision-making, helping readers anticipate future policy choices and their consequences in complex political and economic environments.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book bridges the gap between economics and political science, breaking down disciplinary silos to offer a more holistic perspective on public policy. Through this approach, it provides a deeper understanding of both the intended and unintended consequences of government actions. The book also helps policy analysts across all sectors predict future policy choices in different political environments.
The analysis in this text is not confined to economic policy, rather it is a toolset that can be utilized to explore any public policy issue in any jurisdiction. The broad thematic scope of this text is a distinguishing feature since most texts in the area of political economy typically focus on a narrowly defined policy area, industry, or geo-political region.
Priced at $42.95 to be widely accessible, the book is available through the University of Toronto Press as well as distributors
