Review

"Bardach's Practical Guide is an extraordinary book. It presents an approach to policy analysis that is rigorous and flexible. Despite its welcome brevity, the book gives good reasons for its advice. The greatest strengths of the book are its emphasis on problem definition, its introduction to using The Matrix for evaluating policies, and its identification of key pitfalls, e.g., 'Do not define the solution into the problem.' Students appreciate the book while they are reading it and will draw on the insights and the skills for their entire careers." --Michael Ash, Professor of Economics and Public Policy, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"I wouldn t dream of teaching policy analysis to any group of students at any level in any country without this gem of a book. Gene Bardach has given us an introductory text in which highly experienced analysts find new insights, a no-nonsense practical guide that stimulates debates about theory, and that rarest of academic outputs--an easy-to-read, step-by-step manual that does not dodge the complexity, subtlety, and messiness of real-life policy craft. The eightfold path is to policy analysis what a perfect whitesauce is to French cooking--an essential building block." --Karen Baehler, Scholar in Residence, School of Public Affairs, American University
