Process approach to the study of public policy is advocated by :

  • A.Thomas Dye
  • B.Harold Lasswell
  • C.Yehezkel Dror
  • D.David Easton

Answer: B

The process approach is advocated by Harold Lasswell.

Lasswell, the founder of the 'policy sciences', proposed that policy be studied as a process moving through a sequence of stages. His decision process had seven: intelligence, promotion, prescription, invocation, application, termination and appraisal. This is the origin of the stages or policy-cycle model (agenda setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, evaluation) used in later textbooks.

Thomas Dye catalogued the process model among several models of policy, alongside the institutional, group and elite models, but did not originate it. Yehezkel Dror is known for his normative-optimum model, and David Easton for the systems model of inputs and outputs.
