3. A short policy story
The story shows that policy making is a dynamic process of interaction with the involvement
of administrative and other bodies. Both political views and practitioner views must be taken
into account. Changes in the political context lead to changes in policies.
The story could give the impression that policy making is a linear process. This is not the case
in reality. The decision-making process in the public sector is more consultative, collaborative
and transparent than in a commercial enterprise. Government officials are required to take
the needs of all stakeholders into account. Social groups and their representatives can lobby
for certain proposals. Proposals are discussed in Parliament and by means of a process of
revision, fine-tuning, and various sign-off steps and ultimately become a final decision, for
example, in the form of a law. The process contains various loops and checks and balances
to ensure that the consequences for all stakeholders are being considered and a growing
insight can be taken into account.

Public Policy Making
Public policy making can be
characterized as a complex,
dynamic, constantly evolving
interactive and adaptive system. The
process is stakeholder-driven. Actors
are engaged in a goal-driven
decision-making process and have a
great deal of autonomy in the way
they organize their work. The
process has two dimensions: a
political dimension and a production
dimension. Policy makers need an
infrastructure that seamlessly
integrates with regulation-specific
sources and services. This
infrastructure should be designed for
people and built for change. New
technologies promise to support the
policy making process in a
revolutionary way.
