Although there has been intense interest in racial minorities and public policy, most research has focused on the implementation of policies after legislative passage or on the consequent effects of those policies. Few studies have focused on the definitional stage of the policy process--agenda setting--or have examined the way issues of concern to minority populations are raised. This volume fills that void by examining where policy issues originate and the impact of racial, ethnic, and other minority groups on the agenda setting process and the formulation of public policy. The work will be of interest to scholars in public policy, ethnic studies, government, and politics.
PAULA D. MCCLAIN is Professor in the Woodrow Wilson Department of Government and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia. She is the editor (with A. Karnig) of Urban Minority Administrators: Politics, Policy, and Style (Greenwood, 1988).
