This document summarizes several frameworks for analyzing public policy, including interest group theory, institutional rational choice, path dependence, advocacy coalition framework, social construction framework, multiple streams framework, and punctuated equilibrium. It outlines key elements of each framework and implications for policy analysis. For example, it states that interest group theory posits that concentrated interests are advantaged over diffuse interests, and organized interests over unorganized interests. This implies the need to mobilize or create organizations to represent diffuse stakeholders.
