Promoting Policy Theory: Revising The Arenas of Power

This article discusses theories of policymaking and proposes revisions to existing frameworks. It suggests arenas of power, where negotiation and compromise between interested parties occurs, better explains the complex policy process than traditional linear models. The author argues policy outcomes result from dynamic interaction among multiple actors in institutional settings, rather than following a direct path from problem identification to alternative selection to implementation.
