Policy Decision Making

ABSTRACTThe realization that policy and law are tightly intertwined dates at least to de Tocqueville’s observation that, in the United States, political questions often become judicial questions. Scholars have shown consistently that courts, both federal and state, play a role in public policy decision making. This is observed in social policy (e.g., same-sex marriage and abortion), environmental policy (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency regulations), economic policy (e.g., New Deal Era decisions), and more. Too often, however, graduate programs in public policy fail to prepare students for the role of the courts in the policy process. This study examines the requirements and core competencies from Masters of Public Policy programs to determine to what extent, if any, judicial policy making is taught. We find that there is a significant gap between the theory about the role of courts in the public policy process and what public policy programs teach their students. We conclude with recommendations for possible changes to curricula to close this gap.

Using Data

The implementation of public policy is one of the activities in a public policy process that determines whether a policy is in contact with the public interest and can be accepted by the public. Implementation of the Regional Scholarship Program for Lamandau Regency Students based on the Regulations of the Regent of Lamandau Number. 24 of 2013. The scholarship program in the Lamandau Regency area has been in place since 2009 and this program was carried out by the Education and Culture Office of Lamndau Regency. This program aims to help students from Lamandau Regency to accelerate the lecture process and to improve human resources. This study uses a qualitative approach, data collection obtained from interviews, observation, and documentation. And using data analysis techniques in the form of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. In this study the author uses the Geogre C. Edward III policy implementation model with 4 (four) variables, namely communication, resources, position and bureaucratic structure. Based on the results of the research based on communication variables, it is still not optimal. The lack of socialization from the Dinas to students who will receive scholarship assistance, for resources such as the number of staff, facilities and infrastructure is sufficient. As for the inhibiting factors for this program, the delay in channeling funds from the company as donors and students is still lacking pay attention to systematics, and the requirements set by the Education and Culture Office of Lamandau Regency.

This chapter evaluates the UK government strategy to promote electronic voting through the public policy process as an integral part of the e-government agenda to enhance participatory democracy. It argues that the formulation of the present policy is flawed as it lacks a diffusion strategy to enhance the likelihood of policy adoption. The electoral modernisation policy arose from concerns regarding the falling voter turnout at elections and is being introduced via local authorities through a series of voluntary pilot schemes. If issues influencing local authority pilot participation are not resolved e-voting may be permanently rejected by local elected representatives and so will not be available to citizens. This author identifies variables influencing pilot participation and suggests a revised public policy model incorporating selected diffusion concepts at the formulation stage of the linear policy process. The model is used to propose recommendations to enhance the likelihood of voluntary adoption of a policy introduced by central government for voluntary implementation by local government.
