Document Summary
February 4, 2013: policy making cont"d, public policy structures, constitutions as structuring politics, types of constitutions and the use of rights, the judiciary and the constitution. The discourses which serve as a template for getting things done. How policies get done is largely dependent on how things were done before. What is done is largely dependent on past decisions: adoption. Looking at whether or not the legislature will support it. A majority within the legislature has to support it. Depends on a lot of factors: uni or bi, parliamentary and presidential. How quickly or slowly it will be passed. Second= policy outcomes: looking at the qualitative forms of analysis, tough. Third= policy review: when you"re reviewing you"re doing slight modifications. Corporate forms of policy making: the society is more than just the sum of their parts, interests have to be reconciled, collective institutions serve as a negotiating table for certain interests, aggregated into associations.
