What Is
Public
Policy
1) T.R.Dye,1972
Whatever governments
choose to do or not to do..
 Dye focuses not only on
government ACTION,
but also on
 Government INACTION,
 It reflects the practical
discipline quality of public
policy analysis.
T.R.Dye,1972
ACTION means that government takes measures or
uses symbols openly in order to some public problem.
INACTION means that government does not take
measures or express active symbols, abiding by the
principle of non interference.
But,both are important solutions to public
problems.
T.R.Dye,1972

Public
Policy
2) J.E.Anderson,2003:
“A relatively stable, purposive
course of action followed by an
actor or set of actors in dealing
with a problem or matter of
concern”.
This definition focuses on
 what is actually done instead of what is only
proposed or intended;
 differentiates a policy from a decision, which
is essentially a specific choice among
alternatives; views policy as something that
unfolds over time.
 Public policies are those developed by
governmental bodies and officials. (But ,
Nongovernmental
actors and factors may of course influence
public-policy development.)
J.E.Anderson,
2003:
What Is

Policy
3) D.Easton,1953:
The authoritative allocation of values
for the whole society.
4) C.L.Chocharan & E.F.Malone,1995:
Consists of political decisions for
implementing programs to achieve
societal goals.
The
Public
Policy
Process
1) Policy
Identification/
Recognition
What is the problem or issue?
What will the role of the government be?
What is the agenda?
Issues come to the attention of
government through: interest groups,
organizations, court cases, individual
citizens.
Challenge:
Differing opinions and priorities
2) Policy
Formulation
What are the steps that will be taken to
solve the issue or problem?
Will the issue be dealt with all at once
or in stages?
Challenges:
Different solutions proposed by
different individuals, groups,
organizations.
Reaching a compromise on both sides.
3) Policy
Adoption
What course of action will the
government ultimately take?
Will it be new legislation or an executive
order?
Challenge:
It’s a time consuming process. Adoption of
policy takes considerable amount of time,
process can be difficult.
4) Policy
Implementation
How will the new policy be applied to
real situations?
How will the government make sure the
general public will know about them?
What are the consequences for
individuals, organizations that do not
follow the new policy?
Challenges:
uniformity and equal application of the law
to all levels of government
5) Policy
Evaluation
 What positive changes have resulted from the
policy?
 What are the challenges?
 What are the unforeseen (unexpected)problems?
 What have been the unexpected costs?
 Challenges:
 Will the policy be evaluated in the same way by
different government entities?
 “Throw out” the policy or just amended it? Differing
opinions on how to fix the policy.
Who
influences
policy?
Interest Groups
Political elites & the general
public
state and local governments
The mass media
Things to
keep in mind
about the
policy
making
process…
Public policies
are Constantly changing- reshaped,
modified, changed, rejected for
new policies.
 must be inferred from actions and
behavior of many government
agencies and officials involved over
time.
Things to
keep in mind
about the
policy
making
process…
•Policy is a process, not something
that can be determined by a single
event or decision.
Policy is complex, takes place on
multiple levels- national, state,
local.
There will be winners and losers in
the policy making process.
Interest Groups ALWAYS try to
influence policy
