Development perspective on policy managementDe Coning, Christo Bierman 11 1900 (has links)
Momentous choices and opportunities have opened up in South Africa since a settlement
was successfully negotiated and a new political and constitutional dispensation was
created. Events such as the constitutional negotiations and the establishment of
reconstruction and development initiatives have placed a renewed emphasis on
development management, process facilitation and the development of policy. This study
provides an overview of the broad field of policy studies and specifically focuses on policy
process models. In particular, this study centres on the further development of the generic
process model and provides an overview of the application thereof to the operational
environment. From this, simulation exercises and case study material have been developed
as policy learning methodologies. Institutional arrangements for policy processes and the
institutionalisation of policy and related support capacities at intergovernmental and
organisational level receive particular attention. The study demonstrates the application of
the generic process model by applying the framework to a case study based on the
provincial demarcation exercise. This study concludes that policy management, as a
cross-cutting, lateral methodology, in conjunction with similar methodologies, such as
strategic planning, research methodology and project management, should be regarded as
a critical tool, by the academic community and development practitioners alike, for
improving the decision-making capacity of government, the private sector and civil
society. / D.Litt. et Phil. (Development Administration)
