Policy Process

Literature Review on (Policy Analysis) Policy Process Models

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Thomas A. Birkland offers the following summary about the topic of (Policy Analysis) Policy Process Models: The simplest definition of the term “public policy” is “the things government chooses to do or not do.” This very simple definition certainly raises more questions than it answers. How is public policy made? Who participates, inside and outside of government, to decide whether government should or should not act? Current models of the policy process seek to address these questions.
