Zusammenfassung:Social scientists have constructed elaborate theories involving policymakers as rational actors and purporting to predict and explain policy outcomes. In contrast, this provocative book paints a picture of policymakers who-coping with the uncertainty of constantly changing constraints-must simplify, taking shortcuts rather than surveying all of their options and pursuing carefully thought-out plans.
