Introduction:
What exactly do the terms “public policy formulation and analysis” mean? It refers to the respective municipal, state, or federal governments’ investigation, analysis, development, implementation, and maintenance of laws and regulations on certain public issues.
It is a continuous process because policies must occasionally be reviewed and changed in light of costs, resource allocation, impacts, etc. A government’s main goal when enacting public policy is to raise the standard of living for its citizens.
Federal regulations aid in regulating firms and industries in a number of ways while keeping the general public’s interests and safety in mind. Thus, laws, rules, rulings, case studies, government initiatives, etc. are all part of public policy.
