What is Public Policy and Why Do I Care?

Public Policy is any action (or inaction) taken by the government. Most of us think about policy as something that Congress fights over, passes, and then pays for with our salaries. But Public Policy is much more complex than legislation that passes through Congress. Public Policy includes a range of actors, interests, and institutions that interact with ideas to produce outcomes.

This blog examines case studies in Public Policy to understand why public policies exist and what drives the creation of new policies, where these policies come from, and what shapes these policies.
