Abstract:

Public policy and policy analysis is a relatively young field in Turkey. As a matter of fact, public policy studies have claimed a place on the common ground between political science and public administration, which are already close. Policy-making process consists of such phases as agenda-setting, policy formulation, policy design, policy implementation and policy evaluation. Effectiveness of a public policy depends on the proper production of the policy which goes through these phases. The study reveals the theoretical framework as well as debates about public policy and policy analysis in international literature
