How do the policy sciences provide the best insight and action steps to help solve real-world policy problems?

Abt's Dr. Jason Vogel and co-authors David Cherney and Elizabeth Lowham discuss the answers in "The Policy Sciences as a Transdisciplinary Approach for Policy Studies." The work appears in chapter 25 of the second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity, published by Oxford University Press. The authors briefly describe the history of policy sciences, the foundational principles and the prominent policy frameworks that can improve decision-making outcomes, no matter the topic or time.

The book is available through the publisher and on Amazon.
