Policy (Civil Service)

This note uses the working definition that policy is the sets of laws, regulations or other government enforced rules, or funding arrangements, that:
* require, restrain or pay for actions from individuals, enterprises and government officials;
* together contribute to the achievement of specific government objectives; and
* are recognized as interlinked.
Government policy is distinguished from isolated government action, in that it refers to a set of laws, regulations or other rules or government actions that attempt to have some impact on economic and social actors. To count as 'policy', this collection of rules must be somehow interlinked and, whether effectively or otherwise, must in some way seek to achieve some objectives of government.
We have to acknowledge that 'policy' is a particularly slippery notion. For some authors, it means statements by key actors about their intended course of action (Lasswell and Kaplan 1950), or the actual consequences of actions by those actors even if they had never made their intentions explicit or even coherent (Anderson 1979; Lindblom 1980), or even statements that are never intended to be translated into action. See also (Peters 1996).
