Summary of Issues for Debate in American Public Policy: Selections from the Cq Researcher (Issues for Debate in American Public Policy)

Now in a new edition, Issues for Debate in American Public Policy pulls together a wide range of articles from The CQ Researcher, one of the most respected sources for research on current issues. The CQ Researcher is hailed for its balanced accounts of issues on the public agenda, as CQ staff writers provide background as well as current analysis for each issue considered, and incorporate the voices of people in the thick of the policy process-people from lobbies, nonprofits, think tanks, academia, and government. Popular articles from the first edition have been retained, while new salient issues bring this collection thoroughly up to date.

Each article is framed by substantive questions to get students thinking critically, such as : will vouchers force public schools to improve? Has welfare reform helped reduce child poverty? Should the federal government spend more money to conserve open space? Also included is a yes/no feature that showcases an insider's view from two sides of the debate - an effective starting point for classroom discussion or further research. The selections address every level of government - federal, state, and local - and every branch of government, giving students a sense of how the policy process is affected by community, regional, and national concerns.
