Mini Review
Written by Ahmad Atory Hussain, this book is an extension of a series of Public Policy book written by Utusan Publications & Distributors Sdn. Bhd. and in fact it is intended to explain to readers about public policy or policies and how they can be linked to national, state and local issues. This book is read well by professionals and politicians in an effort to understand more systematically about the formation of public policies in Malaysia as well as how the formulation process of its formation, implementation, implementation and evaluation of the policies or programs introduced. The key feature of public policy is that it is formulated regularly, implemented and evaluated by authorities in the political system of a country, for example by elected representatives, judges, executives and administrators. Public policy often changes as a result of information about its effects. There are some definitions of police analysis.
Thomas R. Dye defines the policy analysis as a description and description of the causes and consequences of government activity. He sees an analysis of public policy should exhibit key responsibilities with more explanations than directions. Therefore, policy analysts should develop and test general recommendations on the causes and consequences of public policy and gather legitimate research results from common relationships. Grover Starling thinks that police analysis should be an effort in disciplinary relationships to provide the majority votes of police decisions. Garry Brewer and Peter Deleon saw policy analysis as an attempt to provide recommendations to decision makers. Obviously, there are some opinions about the purpose of policy analysis, ranging from scientific and practical purposes. Social scientists and political scientists, sociologists and economists are the ones that analyze policies that cover the logical foundations found in the creation of original laws that have been destroyed or based on incomplete understanding of specific policy issues. At other times, the administrator responsible for evaluating the policy or the people 's representatives has mistakenly assumed that a simple policy does not work. Therefore, this policy needs to be changed or terminated.
In the United States, for example, whether to create a new law for solving public problems or adjusting old policy that is not working as planned is a constant activity. In the last chapter of this book, will discuss how a change in understanding of public policy problems can be used in an effort to improve the policy to be better (or more complete). Therefore, it is important to understand what is meant by the police process or the police cycle. Policy changes are the latest development concepts in the police cycle. The greatest development was made by Paul Sabatier and his colleagues in the mid-1980s. The changed policy begins to absorb through several stages of the policy cycle, including the provision of policies, policy implementation, policy assessment and policy termination. As a more detailed concept, policy changes refer to the point where the policy is assessed and redesigned to make all policy processes begin with renewal.
