Preferred term

dilemma  

Definition

  • The term dilemma plays a significant role in political science in general and in theories of public governance. The objectives of public governance are numerous and multifarious, and this increases the potential for conflicts between policy objectives in the governing process. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Dilemma]
