Describe the General Process of Public Policy Formation

question 38

Essay

Describe the general process of public policy formation. How does public policy evolve from the recognition of a problem to the implementation of an effective solution? Can a system of public policy formation be perfected? How can the government adequately assess all potential problems and manage its resources to deal with as many as possible? Must the government necessarily overlook or underfund certain problems? To put it another way, do Americans expect too much from the national government?
