The official policy makers are .........
(1) Legislatures
(2) Executives
(3) Administrators
(4) Civil society
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Answer: B
The official policy makers are (1), (2) and (3): legislatures, executives and administrators.
James Anderson and other writers divide participants in policy-making into official and unofficial actors. Official policy makers hold legal authority to make policy: legislatures, the political executive, administrative agencies, and the courts.
Unofficial participants, such as interest groups, political parties, the media, research organisations and individual citizens, influence policy but have no legal authority to make binding decisions. Civil society belongs to this group, so any code including (4) is wrong.
