Its linkage ong>ofong> public ong>policyong> to citizenship is an important antidote to ong>theong> overly technical and goal-driven orientation adopted by ong>theong> ong>policyong> sciences and public choice, and to ong>theong> overly self-interested and strategic political games found inpluralist ong>theong>ory. Schneider and Ingram close by recommending a series ong>ofong> reforms that will improve ong>policyong> designs and help restore citizen confidence in government.
