Policy Network Theory

Policy Network Theory examines how various actors, such as governments, businesses, and interest groups, interact to influence policy-making. It suggests that policies are not created in isolation; rather, they arise through complex relationships and networks of collaboration and negotiation. These connections allow stakeholders to share information, resources, and perspectives, ultimately shaping decisions and outcomes. By understanding these networks, we can better grasp how policies are formed, who is involved, and the dynamics that drive change within a society. This approach highlights the importance of collaboration and shared interests in effective governance.
