ABSTRACT
Public policymaking has many definitions. At one end of the continuum, some people view public policymaking as simply whatever governments decide to do. At the opposite end, others think of public policymaking as intertwined relationships of offices, public leaders, and issues, all of which constantly change in a kaleidoscope-like fashion.1 Given such disagreement, it is easy for someone to scratch his or her head and wonder, just what is public policymaking?
