Answer preview

Policy-making is purely a bureaucratic and administrative process that incorporates the views of all the stakeholders in the concerned industry. In that case, political influence becomes essential in ensuring that the policy works to address particular issues of concerns. Policy-making process and implementation is an entirely technical procedure that calls for commitment from all the quarters (Halasz and Michel, 2011). For instance, evidence-based policies require the input of experts in the relevant field in a bid to ease the process of decision-making. In most cases, there are always overlapping and competing agendas which lead to a clash of interests and disagreements among the stakeholders over what significant policy problem should be addressed.
