policy formulation
Definition
- In plain language, a policy is a statement of intent or goal, or simply a decision to act. The crucial questions in public policy making are as follows: Who make(s) policy and how? Where does power lie in the policy process? What interests and demands are taken into account? Who ultimately benefits from policy decisions and outcomes? Different policy models and theories capture the understanding and reality of policy formulation differently. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Policy Formulation]
