The textbook, Politics of the Administrative Process, Chapter 13 is directed toward a goal-oriented course of action that is implemented to resolve issues within public policy.
Public policy is a goal-oriented course of action that the government follows in dealing with a problem or issue in the country. Public policies are based on law, but many people other than legislators set them. Individuals, groups, and even government agencies all play a part in the policy-making process, and they can bring about some positive, some negative, and often some unintended impacts and outcomes.
