ABSTRACT
The author opines that no public policy has been labeled as ‘just’ policy, irrespective of all conditions observed by the state. Thus, the approach to policy making can be said to be pre-paradigmatic even now despite the availability of multiple models. Perhaps this brings before us the fact that each one of the models lack/s the component/s that fail the policy, as the output/outcomes do not get recognition from the stakeholders, and so the policy is either right or wrong. This ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ policy is viewed in terms of ethical parameters depending on who the stakeholders are. Though different policy making models do address this challenge by accommodating numerous facets, the question of ethical policy making remains unresolved, according to the author.
