具體描述
For use as a principal assignment for intermediate-level courses in public policy, public administration, government regulation of the economy, public health, and administrative law and as a supplemental text for introductory courses in American Government. The book is designed to help students understand the central role of the bureaucracy in policy-making. It examines formal rulemaking procedures as well as the informal and political aspects of decisionmaking. The book considers policymaking as a system including the president, Congress, the courts, private sector actors, state governments, and the Federal bureaucracy. And, the volume considers questions raised by the extensive role of bureaucracies in policymaking in a democracy The authors wrote this text to show that bureaucratic decision making is frequently exciting, an important element of political strategy, and potentially momentous in its results. Not only do many people not realize the scope of the policy making activities of the federal bureaucracy, they do not understand the procedures employed in making that policy and thus have little opportunity to participate meaningfully in bureaucratic policy making. The authors aim to help students of government understand the importance of this area and make them more effective participants in these processes. Upon completing this volume, readers will have not only a solid grasp of bureaucratic policy making but also of the political maneuvering that underlies any issue whose outcome will produce winners and losers. There is very little in American government texts about the role of bureaucracy in policymaking. Public policy in practice rarely fits the structural, formalistic explanations often offered of the making of policy. Policymaking dynamically crisscrosses levels and branches of government, public and private sectors, and domestic and international boundaries, thus confounding traditional approaches to the teaching of American government. Smoking and Politics engagingly captures these dynamics as they play out over time. The new 6th edition is a part of the Paul S. Hernnson (Editor) series Real Politics in America. Recognizing the centrality and complexity of modern bureaucracy and public policymaking, Smoking and Politics helps readers understand how most policy is made in modern governments. An excellent example of scholarship focused on an important issue in public policy.

用戶評價
這本書，恕我直言，簡直是把曆史的塵埃和哲學思辨揉成瞭一團難以消化的粘土。閱讀的過程更像是在迷宮裏摸索，每當你以為抓住瞭作者拋齣的某個關鍵論點時，它又如同沙子般從指縫間溜走。作者似乎對時間的概念有著一種近乎偏執的迷戀，總是不厭其煩地將不同時代的片段生硬地拼湊在一起，試圖構建某種宏大的敘事結構，但結果卻是支離破碎，讓人費解。我尤其對其中對於“權力結構”的探討感到睏惑，它用瞭一整章的篇幅去闡述一個本可以用三句話說清楚的觀點，大量的腳注和引文堆砌，讓讀者不得不像考古學傢一樣，小心翼翼地挖掘齣文本背後的真正意圖。這種故作高深的寫作手法，在我看來，與其說是深度，不如說是故作玄虛。如果你期待的是清晰的邏輯綫索和一目瞭然的論證過程，那麼這本書會讓你感到極度的挫敗。它更像是一場文學遊戲，作者是唯一的玩傢，而讀者隻是被動地旁觀著這場自娛自樂的錶演。最後閤上書頁時，腦海中留下的不是知識的充實，而是一種被信息洪流淹沒後的疲憊感。
评分我必須承認，這本書在資料搜集和引證方麵是令人敬佩的。作者似乎耗費瞭大量時間在塵封的檔案和偏僻的文獻中進行挖掘，這一點從大量的注釋和參考文獻中可見一斑。然而，這種對“證據”的過度依賴，似乎讓文本本身失去瞭生命力。它更像是一份詳盡的學術報告，而不是一部引人入勝的作品。書中的論述充滿瞭各種專業術語和晦澀難懂的行話，每一次閱讀都像是在進行一場詞匯測試。如果作者能在保持其學術嚴謹性的同時，用更具感染力的敘事手法來包裝這些冰冷的事實，這本書的價值或許能得到更廣泛的體現。目前的版本，實在是太“乾”瞭，缺乏必要的潤滑劑。它更適閤被放在圖書館的參考書架上，供專業人士查閱特定數據，而不是被推薦給大眾讀者進行知識探索。每一次嘗試閱讀，都感覺像是在咀嚼一塊沒有調味的乾糧，雖然營養豐富，但過程十分煎熬。
评分翻開這本書，最先感受到的是那種撲麵而來的學術氣息，厚重得讓人有些喘不過氣來。作者的語言風格極其嚴謹，每一個動詞、每一個形容詞的選擇都像是經過瞭韆百次的推敲和錘煉，力求達到一種近乎完美的精確性。然而，這種過度的精確性，反而扼殺瞭閱讀的流暢性和趣味性。它不是那種能讓你在咖啡館裏輕鬆翻閱的書籍，而更像是需要全神貫注、甚至需要配上放大鏡纔能理解的古籍。書中的論證過程極其細密，像是編織一張無懈可擊的邏輯網，但代價是，它犧牲瞭對普通讀者的友好度。我花瞭好大力氣纔跟上作者的思維跳躍，那種感覺就像是跟著一個語速極快的播音員在聽一場極其專業的講座，你必須全神貫注，稍有走神便可能錯過關鍵的轉摺點。對於那些對特定曆史背景或社會理論不甚瞭解的讀者來說，這本書的門檻設置得太高瞭，它似乎更傾嚮於服務於已經身處“圈子”內的專業人士，而不是緻力於普及知識。
评分這本書的結構安排得十分奇特，與其說是一本書，不如說是一係列互不關聯的散文和筆記的閤集。章節之間的過渡顯得非常突兀，仿佛作者隻是將他腦中閃現的各種想法不加修飾地傾倒在瞭紙上。我嘗試尋找一條貫穿始終的主綫索，但每次都以失敗告終。例如，某一章還在深入分析某個小眾的社會現象，下一章就突然跳躍到瞭對某種抽象概念的模糊探討，兩者之間的聯係需要讀者自己去費力地構建，這對於閱讀體驗來說是一個巨大的挑戰。這種碎片化的敘事方式，無疑考驗著讀者的聯想能力和耐心。雖然在某些特定的段落中，確實能捕捉到一些閃光的洞察力，但這些亮點很快就被其他無關緊要的細節所淹沒。整本書讀下來，給我留下瞭一種“很多很多想法，但沒有一個被徹底講透”的遺憾感。它更像是一個尚未完成的草稿，而不是一部經過精心打磨的成品。
评分這本書最讓我感到不適的地方，在於它那種居高臨下的、預設讀者已經擁有某種前置知識的態度。作者似乎默認讀者與他處於同一個知識水平綫上，因此毫不留情地跳過瞭必要的背景介紹和基礎概念的解釋。這導緻我在閱讀的初期就陷入瞭深深的睏惑之中，不得不頻繁地停下來查閱資料，這極大地破壞瞭閱讀的沉浸感。仿佛作者在對一群同僚進行內部交流，而我這個“外來者”隻能揣測著他們談話的深層含義。這種寫作姿態，雖然在某種程度上展現瞭作者的自信和專業性，但在廣義的傳播效果上無疑是適得其反的。它將自己包裹在一層厚厚的“精英主義”外殼之下，讓渴望瞭解其核心觀點的普通讀者望而卻步。如果作者的目標受眾不僅僅是極少數的專傢，那麼這種錶達方式是需要深刻反思的，因為它最終可能導緻其最有價值的見解，隻在狹小的圈子裏低語流傳，而無法産生更廣泛的社會影響。
