15 Pol'y Persp. 1 (2008)

handle is hein.journals/plyps15 and id is 1 raw text is: Editors' Note In 1994, students at the then-named Department of Public Administration at The George Washington University's Business School created a platform to participate in the academic debates in public policy and public admin- istration. Policy Perspectives was the first student journal of its kind in the United States. Its editorial staff defined the journal's purposeto provide an opportunity for individuals to offer their perspectives on public policy and its management around the world:' Fifteen issues later, Policy Perspectives unveils a new design, but remains faithful to its original mission. This is a forum for students, alumni, and faculty to refine their work into contributions to the academic conversa- tion. The issue before you includes traditional pieces of policy analysis and research as well as a new section of book reviews. We are particularly proud of the broad range of issues addressed by our authors and their dedication to writing high quality articles. In her piece about the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Eliza- beth Kidder provides a preliminary analysis of the influence of The In- dependent Budget and bureaucratic performance on VHA funding trends. Kidder's analysis is invaluable as the number of veterans seeking health services and the cost of delivering such services continue to increase for the nation's largest integrated health system. MaryAnne McReynolds addresses the controversial dilemma of hu- man trafficking. With emphasis on both its legal and social implications, she considers factors that impede the effectiveness of the Trafficking Vic- tims Protection Act (TVPA) in extending immigration relief to undocu- mented aliens who have been trafficked into the U.S. against their will. Bryant Jones tackles the hurdles of designing a gray wolf recovery and protection plan for Wyoming that will meet federal requirements. He ar- gues that Wyoming should look to the success of its neighbors, Idaho and Montana, in order to design a successful policy that will transfer manage- ment responsibilities of the gray wolves from the federal government to state and tribal governments.
