Participatory Government

Abstract

The main purpose of policy making is the formulation of a solution to handle social issues. As frequently emphasized, public policy aims to solve a problem; therefore, goals are nothing more than a description of the ideal situation when the problem is solved. After a problem has arisen, the political forces of government, parliament and bureaucracy are responsible for developing different options and solutions to solve the problem addressed by public policy. The formulation and programming phase usually results in the adoption of normative decisions that change national or international law. © 2020, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
