    Policy Analysis

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses different approaches to policy analysis, including the European Training Foundation (ETF) approach. The ETF approach views policymaking as occurring in stages represented by a policy cycle. While the stages may not always occur linearly, the cycle provides an inspirational framework. The document also notes that governments can fall into a "policy overload dilemma" by developing plans that are too complex, vague, or contain too many priorities, which can lead to a lack of focus, fragmented agendas, and a never-ending stream of initiatives. Instead, policies should be reasonably clear and focused to gain widespread support.

    THE EFT
    (European
    Training
    Foundation)
    APPROACH
    Policy Cycle (ETF
    annual interventions)
    • Although it does not progress logically
    through these stages in real life, the most
    inspirational and influential approaches
    of the policy cycle for the ETF’s work are
    those presented graphically in Figure 1.
    • TAKE NOTE OF policy-overload dilemma,
    which can be summarized as follows: ƒ
    Policy overload happens when
    governments fall into the trap of
    developing plans that are too complex,
    too vague and contain too many
    priorities.
    • ƒPolicy overload results in (i) lack of
    focus, (ii) fragmented priorities, and (iii) a
    sense of an endless stream of ad hoc
    initiatives. Fullan suggests that the
    overall policy plan to be actionable,
    reasonably clear and lead to widespread
    ownership.
