The Policy Network Approach

The Policy Network Approach is a way of understanding how various organizations and individuals interact to shape public policy. Instead of looking at a single authority making decisions, this approach emphasizes the connections and collaborations between different players, such as government agencies, interest groups, and the public. These interactions form a network, where ideas, resources, and influence flow between participants. This perspective helps to analyze how policies are formed, adapted, and implemented, reflecting the complex fabric of relationships that impact decision-making in society.
