This annotated bibliography of more than 2,000 entries, current through 1977, sheds light on the national planning idea as a substantive issue in past, present, and future U.S. public policy; presents a bibliographic structure that suggests new emphases, relationships, and interdisciplinary approaches; and makes more easily accessible to students and researchers the enormous volume of literature on the subject. Its emphasis is on material from four disciplines-public administration, political science, economics, and sociology-and, to a lesser extent, on eleven key national planning-related fields. The bibliography is a companion to The National Planning Idea in U.S. Public Policy: Five Alternative Approaches, to be published by Westview in September of this year.
