Case Situation:
70% of the American public are in favor of off-shore drilling in the US. Some of the people polled had previously rejected the possibility because of potential environmental effects, but now that gas is over $4.00 a gallon, they have to consider whether they want white, sandy beaches or a Hummer in the driveway. We might not be able to have both. People do not want to be told what to drive, nor do they want to be told what to eat or what doctor they must go to, generally. This last statement is directly linked to more/less government involvement.
1) Evaluate how a policy should be designed to produce desired results regarding this situation.
2) Explain how the results and recommendations of such policy analyses are used and viewed by various stakeholders.
3) Evaluate factors and conditions that influence policy utilization
Please note that the statements above are not editorializing; I am merely offering a very controversial, real-life concern for your real-life analysis as a public administrator
