Rational policy analysis is not constrained by :

  • A.Lack of political feasibility
  • B.Weak policy implementation
  • C.Incapability of resolving social conflicts
  • D.Scientific diagnosis of policy problems

Answer: D

Rational policy analysis is not constrained by scientific diagnosis of policy problems.

The rational model asks the analyst to define the problem precisely, identify all alternatives, predict their consequences and choose the best. Scientific diagnosis of the problem is part of the method itself, its starting point, and so cannot be a constraint on it.

The other three are well-known limits of rational analysis. An option that is best on paper may lack political feasibility; good analysis can be undone by weak implementation; and where values conflict, analysis cannot settle which group's interests should prevail, so it cannot resolve social conflicts.
