Samantha Power GOVT 2306 4th Module Essay Introduction: In this essay, I will combine information in order to better understand and explain issues, ideas, concepts and models related to the public policy process. I will pay particular attention to the dynamics of public policy with respect to oversight, policy decision-making and the relationship between political actors outside government and those within government. My essay will focus on the following: Body: Section A: Begin with the textbook, class handouts, the syllabus to provide an overview understanding of the policy process from the Stages Approach linked to the budget process. Be sure to include a discussion of the problem areas in the chapter on public policy. Section B: Expand the overview understanding of public policy to include the process as an Organized Anarchy linked to the budget process. You are describing how the public policy chapter in the book alter the stages approach to be in line with the quote from Nicholas Zahariedes in the module handouts? Section C: Finally, I want you to consider the link between public policy decisions being made with respect to Covid19 and reopening the State of Texas and its economy. At the beginning of the semester we talked about the political culture of Texas and linked it to the work of Elazar and Jillson (both are in the first module and you can find their work there). In this last section describe both the transactional and utilitarian nature of decision-making. Both of these terms are in the last module. How are transactionalism and utilitarianism linked to the Texas culture? How might this affect policy outcomes? Conclusion: In this essay I have addressed issues, concepts ideas and models relevant to understanding and explaining the Texas public policy process along with differing methods of describing what is functional and dysfunctional. 12 font…Inch margins…Double space Intro
