ABSTRACT
A policy is the result of numerous interactions among the social actors who, directly or indirectly, shape its content, interpretation and implementation. In general, thus, a “policy-making process” reflects the power relations that exist in society. In other words, it is to be expected that the dominant policy reflects and reinforces the interests of the powerful—be they the political parties, individuals or aristocracies in control of government and/or influential corporations, financial giants and key market forces.
