Public Policy

11 Feb 2010
LAILA K ALFIRDAUS, S. IP, MPP
Policy cycle
• agenda-setting,
• Policy formulation,
• decision making,
• implementation,
• and evaluation
A. Agenda setting
• Problem recognition and issue selection
• problems and alternative solutions gain or
lose public and elite attention
• Implikasi politik: Group competition
Agenda setting
• The ability of groups—acting singly or, more
often, in coalition with other groups—to
influence policy is not simply a function of
who makes the most persuasive argument,
either from a rhetorical or empirical
perspective.
Agenda setting

Group competition  Political conflict

Keyword: power (soft and hard)


B. Policy formulation
• problems, proposals, and demands are
transformed into government programs.
• the defi nition of objectives
• the consideration of different action
alternatives
Policy formulation
• War within government institution
• Legislature and executive conflict
C. Decision making
• Whether to decide based on rational thinking
or democratic demands
• To be rational OR to be incremental?
D. Implementation
• Action to do or not to do of what has been
formulated and decided.
Imple entation
• its execution delayed or even blocked
altogether
 tidak ada yang bisa menjamin bahwa yang
diterapkan di lapangan sesuai dengan apa
yang diputuskan.
E. Evaluation
• Comparing intended objectives and impacts
• Findings in evaluation can lead to policy
termination
Evaluation
• Government feels satisfied if they have been
in the stage of policy implementation
• Hate to be evaluated
