Thinking Like a Policy Analyst 
Policy Analysis as a Clinical Profession

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.
