ABSTRACT
The most obvious distinction in varieties of policy analysis is in terms of explicit purpose and/or client, separating analysis for policy from analysis of policy. In terms of established lines of research this is probably the most important distinction, and it also reflects a division of disciplinary concerns. Yet within this dichotomy lies a continuum of activities from policy advocacy at one end to the analysis of policy content at the other.
