Discussion
Arrange the following steps in Policy Analysis in the correct sequence and select the correct answer from the codes given below :
(i) Problem identification
(ii) Forecasting and evaluating the alternatives.
(iii) Determining alternative courses of action.
(iv) Policy choice
Answer: B
The correct sequence is problem identification, determining the alternative courses of action, forecasting and evaluating them and policy choice, so the answer is (i), (iii), (ii), (iv), option B.
The analyst must first know what the problem is (i), then list the possible ways of dealing with it (iii), then predict and compare their consequences (ii), and only then recommend or choose one (iv).
Option A evaluates alternatives before they have been determined, and options C and D begin with something other than the identification of the problem, which makes them illogical.
