"Public Policy: The Competitive Framework analyses the ways in which contemporary democracies make decisions that determine the welfare and well-being of their citizens. Examples and case studies from around the world demonstrate the effects of globalisation and transnational relations on competition policy and government intervention."--BOOK JACKET. Providing an accessible and comprehensive explanation of how public policy is formed and why, this text presents an alternative interpretation of public policy analysis that is synthesised with market segmentation theory.
