Document Summary
This means breaking down the policy process into a series of steps, but acknowledging that this is a model and does not necessarily represent exactly what happens in the real world (cid:224) three stages in policy making: problem identification and issue recognition explores how some issues get onto the policy agenda, while others do not even get discussed, policy formation explores who is involved in formulating policy, how policies are arrived at, agreed upon, and how they are communicated, policy implementation often the most neglected phase of policy making and is sometimes seen as quite divorced from the two stages, this is the most important phase of policy making because if policies are not implemented or are diverted or changed at implementation, the policy outcomes may not be those which were sought, policy evaluation identifies what happens once a policy is put into effect, how it is monitored and whether it achieves its objectives.
