Recognizing the birth and potential of the emerging field of public interest communications (PIC), and building on Fessmann’s work summarizing the field’s foci presented elsewhere in this journal, this article offers 10 considerations for PIC’s proponents to think about as the field’s body of knowledge begins to grow. These considerations suggest we consider that: doing good is a relative concept; interdisciplinary scholarship has great value; understanding practitioners’ lives in the field will enhance PIC scholarship; organizing PIC scholars will empower them; social media empower advocacy; a humanistic philosophy should drive the field’s research and teaching; multiple actors in the public policy process influence PIC; and being a do-gooder might not be such a bad thing.

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.

Canadian Public Policy

This chapter aims to clarify the roles that legislatures play in Canadian public policy and its analysis by looking at the institution as it functions in the country’s parliamentary system of government. The chapter begins by describing the four core functions that legislatures perform in Canada’s parliamentary system, namely making government, making government work, making government behave, and making alternative governments. The chapter then explains how and where these functions fit into the public policy process, most significantly in the agenda-setting, implementation and evaluation stages. The chapter concludes with some thoughts on what this fresh perspective on Canadian legislatures and public policy offers for policy analysis in this country.
