The research director of a think tank in Ghana helps convince the government to establish a national AIDS commission. An international NGO plays a key role in getting funding for climate-change adaptation included in a bill passed by the US Congress. All three are cases of the practice of policy advocacy. Confronting Power draws on these and other cases to illustrate a practical, comprehensive framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating policy advocacy UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781565495357 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781565495357 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781565495357/original ER -
