Book excerpt: Public policy analysis has been an area of great interest in Political Science and Public Administration. The contributions of scholars like, Yehezkel Dror, Thomas Dye, Bruce Doern and others have helped to examine the style and approaches that have added to our understanding of public policies. In this collection of fourteen essays, public policy is examined in ranging environments: Greece, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa. The policies of these countries and some other issues relating to social security, poverty/welfare consumer rights are covered. The first paper introduces us to the differences between public and private policies and shows the importance of giving the right place to the former in the orderly society.
