This book provides a "macro" overview of public policymaking as well the "micro" level knowledge that enables ordinary citizens, both individually and collectively, to become involved in public policymaking. It combines a bird's eye view of political institutions, processes, and relationships with a "how-to" approach to civic engagement. Each chapter includes a policy case study, a student project, and discussion questions. Designed as a service-learning supplement for courses in public policy and American or local government, for fieldwork courses and internships, and for teacher training, the book will be equally useful in any organized effort to foster community service and civic responsibility.
