New Issues In The Logic Of Policy Analysis

Author

Listed:
  • Grover Starling

Abstract

Case studies of social interventions need not exchange relevance for rigor, provided analysts keep three methodological issues in mind. First, certain critical tests can and should be performed to help establish causal relations even when empirical data are limited. Second, “causell is an explanatory category representing a moral judgment. Third, case studies should provide some systematic attempt to evaluate the program under scrutiny. The article entitled “Social‐Problem Solving in a Revolutionary Setting: Nicaragua's Pesticide Policy Reforms” by Douglas L. Murray (Policy Studies Review, November 1984) is used to illustrate these issues.
