Document Summary

Enwc413 wildlife policy and administration lecture 1: what is environmental policy, many interpretations and interpreters, policy: the broad strategic statement of intent to accomplished aims. La(cid:449): a specific course of action designed to achie(cid:448)e a desired outcome: problems: few policies are precisely, explicitly, or rationally formulated and they fail to capture why environmental law maters, everything is interconnected, and answers are not concrete. Initiation phase: the problem is first apprehended, then explored. Evaluates the importance and determines whether it merits attention and resources. Legislature: estimation: examination of cost benefits and risks associated with alternative definitions and responses to the policy problems, selection: decisions, often as much a consequence of non-rational and ideological factors because of technical calculations and estimation. Implementation: defined course of action that may or may not bear a close relationship to the well- ordered policy recommendation organization.
