The Nature of Public Policy

In my opinion, a modern approach in the design of public policy should start as an expression of our own reality, segmenting the natural audience consecuence of a micro vision rather than a broader one, in order to make an effective impact to better people lives. So, Why is it important the making of public policy? Having a plan to solve the problems we face as social beings.

Is goverment the only one responsible to make public policies? Public Policy covers the analysis of govermental decisions but not necessarily all made by the goverment.

Social issues tend to come first while working towards “courses of action” in meeting the aspirations of the people. However, those aspirations and their priority would change depending on how diverse the target audience is as a result of cultural, demographical and socio economic factors.

Issues such as: universal health care, inmigration, gender equallity, discrimination based on sexual orientation among others; seem to be first in mind of people rather than sustainable growth or energy security, for example. Not for being more important but for affecting the individuals more directly in regular basis and in their own macro view of the reality.

Are you regularly involved in public policy strategies? Constantly, it must be that way

When parents meet at school to discuss problems as well as creating norms and regulations to improve how the institution functions, they are in presence of “Public Policy”. The only way to change the course of action is by participating in the decision making process.

Before any regulatory measures have been implemented, it is important for the target audience to have an approach in place, that is, a proper strategy with its respective funding priorities, otherwise the survival of the inniciative would be at stakes.

I would leave you for now with an idea to brainstorm, some have agreed to put limits to the state in order not to intrude in people's personal life, i personally would agree, but most importantly it would be to put real limits to the corporations, to have them do their productive purpose only and to strip them out from any political involvement as well as reducing their size to avoid temptations about their agenda in changing your mind and the regulatory nature of goverment.
