      abstract = {How do transformative changes in public policy take place?  Why do some issues rise to the top of the political agenda,  while others are completely ignored? What makes some major  policy initiatives succeed--at times, even when the odds  are decidedly against them--while others fail or languish  for decades? Answering those questions is the purpose of  this book. Elaine Kamarck traces the paths of a series of  modern policy initiatives from the orderly world of  analysis to the messy world of partisan politics.  Dissecting the reasons for policy success and failure, she  offers an intriguing new perspective on how change happens  in the space where politics and policy overlap. --},
