How does the political approach differ from the rational approach to policy analysis, implementation, and evaluation? The political approach is a rational choice based on the number of people who support it to level where it can be implemented to tackle a societal conflict. The problem with this approach is the conflicts related to resources and who is entitled to them. Also, the quantity of help certain individuals or groups will receive. Additionally, the issue being addressed may not impact all individuals equally. The measure of cost or impact cannot be calculated. Whereas policy analysis looks at other policies that can offer alternative methods to resolving issues while implementing already established procedures and…
In other words people fight to stay the same. Stalemates and obstructions are key components of policy reform processes. There are various forms in which they are noticeable, from absolute resistance to secret struggles, from obstructionist activities to inspired conformity, from institutional incompetence to decision making stalemates. In spite of their dissimilar quality and effects on the policy outcome, obstructions put reform momentum at risk. Resistance to change is accompanied at the same time by plans intended at anticipating and conquering deadlocks, and preventing possible impasse as much as possible. Managing obstructions can be analyzed as a governmental activity per se, for the policy making process of reform is characterized by the comparable agreement of dynamism and…

Many times the actions by state and national (federal) policy issues will result in legislators passing new laws to address the issue. Ordering local agencies to enforce the new law passed with little or no funding, and minimal if any guidance on how to enforce the new law. Arizona passed a new illegal immigrants law in…
In terms of the stages of the policy making process the first step is to identify a problem. Opponents of reform say illegal immigrants are overwhelming jobs, hospitals and schools. Furthermore, security is an issue, protecting the boarder from criminals attempting to commit violent crimes is a matter of national security. Because numerous problems exist solutions are impossible until identified by policy makers.…
If someone feels that the issue is so prodigious/ colossal that they must speak on it, who are we to hold them back. Laws are shaped for the people, but if that said law or act is not benefitting the society ,in which it was made for, than why should it be carried on.…

One of the main reasons for the lack of change is slow federal action. It is often difficult to adapt to and enforce new regulation regarding different groups because of the divided parties. Every time a new president takes office, new laws are implemented depending on the specific party’s beliefs. Although we have made great progress since…
According to the textbook, The Policy Game Understanding U.S. Policy Making, “…the stages-heuristic approach has evolved into a cycle of recognized policy stages that include the emergence of a problem and continue through enactment of the policy solution to evaluation and possible policy change, (Theodoulour & Kofinis, 2012). The stages consist of pre-decision, which would include identifying the issue or problem, then making a decision or coming up with a policy as a solution to the problem and finally post-decision, where they evaluate the new policy as to its effectiveness. The policy process is a series of interrelated stages which include: Problem Identification and Agenda Setting, Policy Formulation, Policy Adoption, Policy Implementation, Policy Evaluation and Policy Change or Termination. The stages-heuristic has received scholarly criticism because they argue this theory, which some say it isn’t a theory at all, has a lack of theoretical specificity, an absence of empirical validation, and an inaccurate description of the “actual” policy process. The theory’s main weakness is that the public policy process does not operate in the step-by-step manner as described, (Theodoulour & Kofinis, 2012).…
Due to time constraints and resources policy makers must choose which problems to act on. Sometimes determining what’s on the agenda can be difficult, but once the agenda is set the proposals of the policy can be set. Formulation of the policy includes the development of pertinent and acceptable proposed courses of action for dealing with public problems. The people involved in this process are the president and his advisors who are the leading source of policy initiatives. Next are the government agencies, the presidential organizations such as specific tasks forces and or commissions next are the legislators and finally the interest groups. All of these individuals are key figures in the policy making process. This leads into the next phase of policy making which is the legislative…
