Publisher description
For more than a century, public policy institutes at universities have
followed a tradition of public and civil engagement through scholarship and
training programs that address a wide variety of policy needs in public and
private sectors. With current trends in government budget reductions and the
expansion of government bureaucracies at state and local levels, public policy
institutes must play increasingly significant roles in developing effective
partnerships between universities and government agencies. This issue provides
an overview of the modern public policy institute, beginning with its inception
at the University of Wisconsin, and its historic role in American public life.
Using different models, the authors examine innovative approaches to developing
the structure of programs in both traditional academic environments and in
applied research and training; attracting and rewarding faculty engaged in
public service; and determining which policy issues to approach at
institutional levels. They also discuss current trends in this field, including
a growing commitment to national and international issues, and policymaking as
institutional design. This is the 112th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Higher
Education.
