Agenda building is often the first step in your policy practice tasks. Building a solid agenda may well determine the success of the development of a policy proposal and may also determine your success in placing an issue in front of a decision maker.
For this Assignment, you evaluate the accuracy of the Kingdon model of policymaking.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper evaluating the accuracy of the Kingdon model in policymaking. Address the following:
- Discuss the three streams Kingdon has identified where problems originate, and provide your opinion on which one most accurately reflects how and why policies come about.
- Discuss the assertion that certain kinds of issues receive preferential treatment in problem solution and political streams.
- Discuss tactics that policy practitioners use within each of the three streams to increase the odds that a specific issue will be placed on decision agendas.
