Abstract:
This open access book responds to the need for a specifically African focus on public policy. It outlines the fundamental principles of public policy research, and engages with major issues in the study of public policy from an African perspective, covering essential topics such as the location and centrality of social sciences in relation to public policy, leadership, methodology, institutions, governance, and gender. This book is essential for understanding the various aspects and dimensions of policy making in Africa that underscore quality research and are at the core of excellence in teaching and learning. E. Remi Aiyede is Professor of Political Institutions, Governance and Public Policy in the Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Beatrice Muganda is the Deputy Executive Director and Director of Higher Education at the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), a pan-African not-for-profit organization based in Nairobi, Kenya.
