ACCTG 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Overton Window, Hard Power, Party System
Document Summary
This question refers to the buse, mays & walt text. Hard power vs soft power: soft power is power that comes from looking like good governed country, is "soft to hug"". Also refers to buse, mays & walt power and political systems. Demands preferences communicated by citizens to decision makers directly or indirectly through interst groups, lobbyist and political parties. Support actions that underpin the political system ( voting, paying taxes, etc etc) The policy output is separate from their impact . Policy impact: the effects of policy decisions on individuals and groups in society. The output generates feedback ( kind of what also happens in an old policy cycle always starts a new one ) Criticism on the model: does not explain why governments may employ repression and coercion, does not account for policy that arises from decision making within private organizations, too little emphasis on the black box.
