ON PRINCIPLES OF POLICY MAKING AND IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

This paper is a compact synthesis of the intricate affairs of policy making and implementation performed by empires, governments, and organizations around the world, since the earliest civilizations until the contemporary modern civilizations today. This paper propounds some essential principles in policy making and implementation that could serve as important guides for all ruling and management elites involved in running the state and public affairs—which are indeed a reflection of a vast array of human needs in society. Faulty thinking in policy making and implementation can be avoided by using the principles.
