Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

First published in 1984, this explanation of the policy-making process in the United States described agenda setting as the ability to define "the list of subjects to which government officials and those around them are paying serious attention." Kingdon (U. of Michigan) identifies three streams that impact agendas—problems, policies, and politics—and describes their interactions.
