Numerous theorists have constructed models and theories to help predict

how the public policy process will evolve, given the stakeholders, decision-makers, and policy analysts involved in the decision-making construct (Nowlin, 2011). However, as theories, they may have predictive value but not necessarily definitive value. Whether you are a citizen interacting with different levels of government or a professional working within a governmental agency, it is incumbent upon you to reconcile the different approaches with your practical experiences.

Post a brief description outlining the approaches to policy adoption and execution. Analyze how practical and effective you believe each approach may be based on this week’s assigned readings and from your personal and/or professional experiences in or with government either in the United States or in your home country. Then, explain how the policy approach supports the transformation of a public policy agenda item into an actionable public policy. Provide specific examples based on the country that you have chosen.
