Studies of public policymaking all to often apply general assumptions about political life to specific case studies. In Studying Public Policy , Michael Howlett and M. Ramesh argue that this approach does not do justice to the wealth of empirical studies pointing to a different set of factors responsible for general patterns of policymaking.
