"Agendas, Alternatives, and Public Policies"

"Agendas, Alternatives, and Public Policies" is a framework that explains how issues gain attention and influence government action. It suggests that problems are placed on the policy agenda through various factors like public opinion, interest groups, and political leaders. Once an issue is recognized, policymakers consider different solutions or alternatives. Ultimately, a specific policy is chosen to address the problem. This process helps us understand how certain issues become priorities and how decisions are made in government to address societal needs.
