      abstract = {This book examines incrementalism as a policymaking  process in the USA. It provides an overview of  incrementalism as a theoretical concept, assesses  historical and contemporary attitudes toward it, and  considers it as a viable alternative to rationality. The  book argues that incrementalism is both an inevitable and  desirable method of policymaking, despite seeming ill  suited to the current system of highly ideological and  polarized political parties. It also advocates a return to  realism in which policymakers on both the left and right  recognize the superiority of incrementalism, as well as a  new system of partisan incrementalism through which  political parties compete by offering distinctive  incremental alternatives on major policy issues. The book  will appeal to scholars and students of American public  policy, public administration and politics. Michael T.  Hayes is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Colgate  University, USA.},
