Public Policies Analysis and the Prince System

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Behxhet Brajshori

University of Prizren, Kosovo

Abstract

Public Policies present governmental sectorial policies and according to several

scholars those are defi ned based on "what does the Government do". In fact, those

are mandatory state's principles for the Government that aims the implementation

of the strategy, objectives and Government's goals in the function of its promises'

fulfi llment towards the electors and all of the country's citizens.

Public Policies Analysis has to do with the monitoring of government's agenda which

directly can infl uence on a specifi c community. The idea of public policies analysis in

linked with the need that the Government through statistical data has to prove what

is being worked. Public Policies Analysis evolves in terms of design, implementation

and public policies' e ects.

One of the methods for predicting the probability that a specifi c public policy will

be implemented or not, is the Prince System. The Prince System, actually, presents a

technique for assessing the relative support or opposition to a particular policy from

individuals, groups or organizations.

Keywords: Public Policies, Government, Analysis, The Prince System.

Introduction

The study of Public Policy is a very complex topic, and any a empt to force policy

into any theoretical framework, should be considered with some skepticism. There

are two di erent dimensions: The fi rst, there are some real virtues for policy as an area

of inquiry for the social sciences, given that it is amenable to so di erent perspectives,

and the second this complexity of Public Policy requires bringing together a wide

range of theoretical and analytical perspectives to gain any sort of understanding of

what is happening in any policy area (Peters & Pierre, 2006).

Based on this complexity of Public Policy, it’s very di cult to defi ne what Public

Policy means. Refers to the actions and the intensions of government, there are

di erent concepts how public policy is defi ned. Public Policies are a set of inter –

related decisions taken by a political actor or group of actors concerning the selection

of goals and the means of achieving them within a specifi ed situation where those

decisions should be within the power of those actors to achieve (Jenkins, 1978). Public

Policy is whatever governments choose to do or not to do (Dye, 1978).

Public Policy is made in response of the problems that require a ention and the

policy is made on the “public’s behalf”. Policy response is subdivided into: a policy

statement (is the intent of the government to do something about some issues), a

policy action (is what a government agency does to achieve the goals identifi ed in
