Publisher Description "Making Progress" explores the nature of progress and the role public policy plays in promoting it. The work defines the concept of progress, how it is measured for policy purposes, and the major difficulties to implementing progress. The book is organized into three sections, each of which analyzes progress in particular policy areas: progress in relation to ourselves analyzes bioethics, religion and education; progress in relation to others discusses collective action, ethnopolitical warfare, the media and international development; and progress in relation to our material and physical world considers science, economic wealth, information technology and the environment. This collection illustrates the complexity of successful policy implementation, the role of leadership in promoting or retarding policies, and incorporates important recommendations for improving policy processes.
