Disasters like earthquakes are known as focusing events - sudden calamities that cause both citizens and policymakers to pay more attention to a public problem and often to press for solutions. This book explains how and why some public disasters change political agendas and, ultimately, public policies.

Explores the relationship of personal values to public policy, and poses the concept of moral community as a vital link between the concerned citizen and the body politic. The author delineates a collective vision of the public good that might be brought to bear on policy issues such as health care, education, civil liberties, and the environment.
