Problem and Policy Analysis

Problem and Policy Analysis

Public policies set the framework for governance throughout the world. Understanding the impact and consequences of these policies is an important part of

understanding public administration. As we read and discuss in Pal’s book, “policy analysis is a process of multidisciplinary inquiry designed to create, critically

assess, and communicate information that is useful in understanding and improving policies” (Dunn, 2008, P. 1 as quoted in Pal, 2013, p. 15). The purpose of the PA 680

policy review is to analyze a federal, state, or local policy that is currently in action.
