| Policy Making and Policy Implementation |

 |
|
Policy making is a cyclical process. It begins in the agenda setting stage with recognition and definition of a significant public problem and an organized call to government action. In response, the legislative and bureacratic machinery of government may formulate, adopt, and implement a strategy for addressing the problem. Analysis of policy effectiveness in turn often reveals shortcomings in formulation or implementation or new problems to add to the policy agenda. |
