Theory and Practice in Policy Analysis,
The government sees a problem, considers some options to fix it, and then chooses a best solution. But anyone who has worked in government for very long knows that this isn't the whole story. Governments only have a limited amount of attention and must focus on certain pressing issues - you can't solves everything, or at least not all at once. And governments oftentimes don't know exactly what to do: a lot of the problems that governments face are very complex (poverty, urban design, education, etc) and don't have a clear and simple solution. This chapter is similar to the last one, but focused on a description of the policy process rather than how organizations behave.
