    adding a focus on
    important and powerful
    institutions. It
    discusses policy
    sciences, public policy
    analysis and public
    management. It addresses
    operations and design
    issues for government

Stem Cell Research
Stem Cell Research
    The social and political
    climate surrounding human
    embryonic stem cell
    (hESC) research is
    constantly changing, as
    is the science, with new
    developments occurring at
    a regular pace. Rapid
    changes can exacerbate
    fears, and fears often
    contribute to sweeping
    pronouncements and
    prohibitions that may
    not, ultimately,
    withstand rational
    scrutiny.

Morality Politics in Western Europe
Morality Politics In Western

    This book argues that
    morality issues only
    generate major conflicts

Wrestling with Diversity
Wrestling With Diversity
    Diversity has become a

    relatively little to do

Most Deserving of Death?
Most Deserving Of Death?
    The role of capital
    punishment in America has
    been criticised by those
    for and against death
    penalty, by the
    judiciary, academics,
    the media and by prison
    personnel. This book
    demonstrates that it is
    the inconsistent and
    often incoherent
    jurisprudence of the
    United States Supreme
    Court which accounts for
    a system so lacking in
    public confidence.
