• Policy making defines the intention and the course of
action. The formalized results of this activity include
laws, regulations and procedures. These results are used
as input for the process of policy execution. Policy
execution involves fine-tuning political programs and
bringing about their intended effects in everyday reality.
In other words, policy execution is about putting purpose
into practice.
• The illustration also shows that this close relationship is
required to establish and guarantee accountability
during the entire process. The same applies to the
political, legal, judicial, economic, social and other
forms of scrutiny by a great variety of actors.

Public Policy Making
Public policy making can be characterized as a
complex, dynamic, constantly evolving
interactive and adaptive system. The process
is stakeholder-driven. Actors are engaged in a
goal-driven decision-making process and have
a great deal of autonomy in the way they
organize their work. The process has two
dimensions: a political dimension and a
production dimension. Policy makers need an
infrastructure that seamlessly integrates with
regulation-specific sources and services. This
infrastructure should be designed for people
and built for change. New technologies
promise to support the policy making process
in a revolutionary way.
