8 Where did public policy come from? 1 Explanation 1: Since the emergence of organized societies After the division of labor regarding the rulers and the ruled, rulers needed advice. Knowledge is power. Advisors beginning from ancient China, Egypt and India Wazir: the ones who help carry the load Oral and written advice. No real data collecton and analysis Mostly experience based

14 Analysis of the Policy Process B. Analysis for Policy 4. Information for policy Detailed research & advice 5. Policy advocacy Research & arguments that affect policy agenda
15 STAGES IN PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS
16 Advantages of the Stages An artificial view of the policy making It reduces complexity to a more manageable form Provides us with tidy, neat steps that follow each other
17 Criticisms of the stagist model It does not provide any causal explanation of how policy moves from one stage to another It can not be tested on an empirical basis It is a top down approach, and fails to take account of all the actors It ignores multiple levels of government and interacting actors

19 Public Opinion & Public Policy Observations on the character and importance of the public voice from ancient times: Vox populi, vox dei (Alcuin) Publica Voce (Machiavelli)
20 What is Public Opinion? Although it is an old concept, it is first defined in the 18th Century Britain as: An identifiable body of views held by a defined group to whose opinions government attached a standing and significance.
21 Public Opinion & Public Policy Which comes first? Public policy or public opinion? Policy agenda is set by the interplay of public opinion and public power. How is public opinion shaped by power? Shaping of public concerns, priorities and attitudes
22 Interplay between the Media and Agenda (Mayer) Which comes first? (Chicken egg?) Unidirectional Media influencing the public agenda Multidirectional The policy agenda of the government influencing media coverage and public opinion
23 Public Opinion & Public Policy In a democracy, public policy is a function of public opinion. Policy demand determines policy supply Public opinion is to the political market what consumer demand is to the economic market.
24 What is Public Opinion? In the Post Second World War Era, the introduction of techniques to make empirical, quasi scientific measurements of public opinion on issues... led to the analysis of the impact of opinion on the political agenda.
25 Agenda Setting (McCombs & Shaw) The media has a key role in agenda setting, that is, in the power to determine what topics are discussed. The more attention that is given to an issue, the more does the public regard it as being a high agenda item.
26 The Impact of Media Attention on the Public Agenda High Media attention on issues Low Issues considered less important by the public Source: Parsons, 1995: 113. Issues considered more important by the public
27 Factors Determining Response Policy makers response to new stories/media coverage is influenced by: The relationship of journalists to policy making elites and vice versa The timing of the publication Interest group pressures Costs and benefits of problems and solutions, etc.
28 2. Alarmed Discovery Euphoric Enthusiasm 3. Realizing costs of significant progress 1. Pre-problem stage Downs Issue Attention Cycle Source: Parsons, 1995: Gradual decline of public interest 5. Post-problem stage Issues as having highs and lows, ons and offs...
29 Downs Issue Attention Cycle 1.Pre Problem Stage: Experts and policy makers may be aware of the problem, and knowledge may have been produced, but there is negligible public interest.
30 Downs Issue Attention Cycle 2. Alarmed Discovery and Euphoric (Joyful) Enthusiasm Stage: The issue is recognized as a problem, prompted by a disaster and event, which focuses concern and leads to demands for government action
31 Downs Issue Attention Cycle 3.Counting the Costs and Benefits Stage: Policy makers and the public become aware of what progress will cost. 4.Decline of public interest in issue 5.Post Problem Stage: The issue slips down the public agenda. New issues replace the environment in public opinion and policy agendas.
32 Systemic and Institutional Agenda (Cobb Systemic Agenda All issues commonly perceived by members of a political community as meriting public attention of public authorities Shared concern of a sizeable portion of the public & Elder) Institutional Agenda Explicitly up for active and serious consideration by decision makers May be an old item which is up for regular review or is of periodic concern; or it may be a new item.
33 Factors that Affect Transfer Degree of specificity ( ) The more ambiguous the issue, the easier it will be exposed to a larger population Scope of social significance (+) Temporal relevance (+) The higher the long term relevance, the easier it will be exposed to a larger population Degree of complexity ( ) The more non technical the issue, the easier it will be exposed to a larger population Categorical precedence ( ) The more an issue lacks a clear precedence, the easier it will be exposed to a larger population
34 Issue Triggers (Cobb & Elder) Internal Triggers Natural catastrophes Unanticipated human events Technological changes Imbalance or bias in the distribution of resources Ecological change External Triggers Act of war Innovations in weapons technology International conflict Patterns of world alignment
35 Policy Implementation Source: Parsons, 1995:
36 Implementation: Definitions Studying implementation is studying change How does change occur? Study of the political system inside and outside the organization What motivates implementors?
37 Source: Davis, Influencing PP through Research
38 Implementation An important stage in the policy process Task of translating policy intentions into outcomes Involves participation by a number of stakeholders Reflects intention of governments to act
39 Examples of policy implementation Policy Electricity available to all citizens Cleaner water Possible implementation scenarios 1. Creation of a public enterprise (direct provision) 2. State regulation of private companies 1. Ban of using certain products (regulation) 2. Possibility to buy the right to pollute (market creation) Prevention of heart disease 1. Advertising in the media 2. More hours for physical activities in schools (standard setting)
40 Implementation: Definitions Policy making does not come to an end once a policy is set out or approved. Policy is being made as it is being administered and administered as it is being made. Black Box Model What is happening between input and output? Problems of implementation were rarely analyzed. Bureaucrats are not just neutral public servants
41 Michael Lipsky s street level bureaucracy model Lipsky s book entitled Street level Bureaucrats (1980) has been viewed as the leading challenge to the top down model of policy implementation models and the starting point of bottom up model.
42 Michael Lipsky s street level bureaucracy model Lipsky argue(s) that public policy is not best understood as made in legislatures or top floor suites of high ranking administrators, because in important ways it is actually made in the crowded offices and daily encounters in street level workers. And the street level bureaucrats, the routines they establish, and the devices they invent to cope with uncertainties and work pressures, effectively become the public policies they carry out. (Lipsky, 1993, p. 382)
43 Michael Lipsky s street level bureaucracy model Lipsky underlines that in implementing policy at street level, front line workers are confronted with conflict and ambiguities. These may include Inadequate resource and unsatisfactory working condition, e.g. large classes for teachers, huge caseloads for social workers, dangerous and hostile neighborhood for police officers. Unpredictable, uncooperative, skeptical clients Unclear and ambiguous job specification and guidelines.
44 Michael Lipsky s street level bureaucracy model Confronted with these inadequacies and uncertainties, street level bureaucrats derive coping strategies or even survival strategies to deal with the unaccommodating working situations. Lipsky point out that in daily client processing routines, street level bureaucrats in fact have considerable amount of powers and discretions at their disposal, which may lead to substantial deviations from, if not complete alterations of, official and top down policy specifications.
45 Implementation as a Political Game Conflict is not dysfunctional On the contrary, it is essential in acquiring and maintaining power Deal making is acceptable Bargaining and persuasion under conditions of uncertainty Actors are trying to win as much control as possible Groups and individuals seek to maximize their power and influence during implementation Self interested people playing games Bardach, The Implementation Game Book (1977) Blurring of boundaries between politics and bureaucracy
