Who said, 'Policy Analysis is both Art and Craft' ?

  • A.William Dunn
  • B.Aaron Wildvasky
  • C.Charles Lindbloom
  • D.E.S. Quade

Answer: B

The view that policy analysis is both art and craft is Aaron Wildavsky's (printed 'Wildvasky').

His book Speaking Truth to Power: The Art and Craft of Policy Analysis (1979) argued that policy analysis cannot be reduced to a technique or a science. It requires the creativity of an art, in imagining problems and solutions, and the practical skill of a craft, in fitting analysis to the political and organisational setting in which decisions are made.

William Dunn wrote a standard textbook on public policy analysis, Charles Lindblom developed incrementalism, and E.S. Quade wrote on systems analysis and policy analysis at RAND, but the art-and-craft formulation is Wildavsky's.
