Question

With a current public policy example, such as healthcare reform or various proposals to cut or raise federal taxes and modify entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, use the theories of policy (e.g., elite, group, or rational choice) to help explain why a particular policy choice was selected. How do the assumptions associated with these theories help to explain the outcome?

Answer 1

Public Policies are the actions of any government, issued by it, that seeks to respond to the various demands of society. They are understood as the strategic use of resources to alleviate national problems.

Public Policies have to do with people's access to goods and services. They consist of rules and actions that aim to solve and respond to the multiplicity of needs, interests and preferences of groups and people that make up a community. So that in the end, the solutions found allow people and groups to coexist despite their differences.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of successful public policy is the recovery of the historical heritage of the province of Santa Fe: This Market was opened in 1929 and for many years survived as a space for retail stores. It was the epicenter of the lives of immigrants of the beginning of the century. However, after the 2001 crisis, the market was losing importance. The building was deteriorating, the municipality neglected it and lost a lot of ground in front of the supply of supermarkets. In 2007 it closed.

However, in 2009 the municipality won a project to recover it and obtained financing from EuropeAid. Subsequently, the architectural recovery of the central and interior nave began with original materials. The premises outside the market are already inaugurated. The project also includes the transfer of the know-how of its recovery to municipal markets in other cities.
