Effects of change in inputs in policy-making for the South African public serviceAbabio, Ernest Peprah 11 1900 (has links)
The negotiation process in South Africa did, by 1993, lead to change in inputs in
policy-making, and led to change in political relations with specific reference to
norms of equality and respect for human rights. Significantly, these changes
imposed obligations on the public service on issues of transformation, amongst
others: service delivery, restructuring, democratisation of the policy-making
process, and representativity and equity. This study was undertaken to examine
the latter two namely, to determine the policy-making mechanisms by which the
public service seeks to legitimise the policy-making process by involving a wider
populace in participation; and to examine legislation that exists on representativity
and equity and their consequent implementation.
In support of the empirical research, use and analysis of a theoretical study of
public policy in Public Administration were undertaken. The analysis showed that
the theoretical distinction in the roles of political office-bearers and appointed
public officials in the policy-making process, was incorrect. Rather, the empirical
study supported a close co-operation of the functionaries in the process, including
implementation. Further, it was found that the various models for analysing public
policy had all been applicable at different periods in the South African political
system.
For the purpose of this study, the hypotheses are formulated that the new political
dispensation that ushered South Africa into a popular constitutional democracy
impacted on the functioning of the public service, amongst others:
• an obligation to involve a wider population in the policy-making process to
achieve legitimacy; and
• an obligation to enforce norms of representativity and equity through legislation
and the implementation thereof.
In the study of the policy-making process, it was empirically established that the
public service does possess comprehensive mechanisms to engage the wider populace in consultation and negotiation on public policy-making. Yet, public
participation was found to be thin. Further, it was established that elaborate
legislation exists to change the demographic face of the public setvice, and there
is progress on implementation of representativity and equity legislation with
reference to target quotas, time frames and the control thereof. Proposals for
further study on effects of change, are made. / Public Administration and Management / D. Litt et Phil (Public Administration)

The policy cycle of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in CanadaLee, Michael L. 11 1900 (has links)
This paper uses the case of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) to examine
the dynamics of the public policy cycle in Canada. A process approach is
applied to examine the principal stages of the cycle: problem identification,
agenda-setting, decision-making, and implementation. In examining these
stages, the factors that drive the policy cycle and those that impede its
progress are identified. The regulatory history of PCBs is traced to
demonstrate some of the complexities of the policy cycle. As one of the
better known hazardous wastes in Canada, PCBs have been the catalyst for
the introduction of new toxic chemical regulations throughout the 1970s
and 1980s. Since the late 1970s, regulatory policies have been developed
and implemented for PCB use and handling. After major PCB accidents
occurred during the second half of the 1980s, regulations were introduced
for their transport, storage and disposal. This case study provides seven
major conclusions: (1) before the right policy solution is found and
implemented, several stages in the cycle may need to be repeated; (2)
public perception is a key determinant of the policy problem; (3) focusing
events are a critical factor in setting the agenda; (4) decision-making often
takes an incremental approach due to incomplete information and divided
policy jurisdictions; (5) successful implementation, particularly in divided
jurisdictions, requires sympathetic officials who are supportive of the
enabling legislation; (6) constituency group support is a necessary
condition for policy implementation; and (7) to deal with public concerns
which may impede the implementation process, officials need political and
managerial skills. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

Agenda-setting dynamics in CanadaSoroka, Stuart Neil 11 1900 (has links)
Agenda-setting hypotheses inform political communications studies of media influence
(public agenda-setting), as well as examinations of the policymaking process (policy agenda-setting).
In both cases, studies concentrate on the salience of issues on actors' agendas, and
the dynamic process through which these agendas change and effect each other. The results,
narrowly conceived, offer a means of observing media effects or the policy process. Broadly
conceived, agenda-setting analyses speak to the nature of relationships between major actors
in a political system.
This study differs from most past agenda-setting research in several ways. First, this project
draws together public and policy agenda-setting work to build a more comprehensive model
of the expanded agenda-setting process. Secondly, the modeling makes no assumptions
about the directions of causal influence - econometric methods are used to establish
causality, allowing for a more nuanced and accurate model of issue dynamics.
Quantitative evidence is derived from a longitudinal dataset (1985-1995) including the
following: a content analysis of Canadian newspapers (media agenda), 'most important
problem' results from all available commercial polls (public agenda), and measures of
attention to issues in Question Period, committees, Throne Speeches, government spending,
and legislative initiatives (policy agenda). Data is collected for eight issues: AIDS, crime,
debt/deficit, environment, inflation, national unity, taxation, and unemployment. The present
study, then, is well situated to add unique information to several ongoing debates in agenda-setting
studies, and provide a bird's eye view of the media-public-policy dynamics in
Canadian politics.
Many hypotheses are introduced and tested. Major findings include: (1) there is a Canadian
national media agenda; (2) the salience of issues tends to rise and fall simultaneously across
Canada, although regional variation exists based on audience attributes and issue
obtrusiveness; (3) there is no adequate single measure of the policy agenda - government
attention to issues must be measured at several points, and these tend to be only loosely
related; (4) the agenda-setting dynamics of individual issues are directly and systematically
related to attributes such as prominence and duration; (5) Canadian media and public agendas
can be affected by the US media agenda. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate
