dc.description.abstract | In line with the ongoing democratization process in Indonesia, at least there are three demands that
must be satisfactorily answered by the stakeholders, namely: 1) good understanding about the
political process that affects the policy; 2) the necessity to create a participative policy formulation
system; and 3) that the result of the policy formulation must be able to answer the real problem in
the society. These three challenges surely need an understanding about comprehensive process of
policy formulation, policy agenda formulation, legitimacy, budgeting up to implementation and
evaluation toward formulated policy. The policy formulation cycle should be understood not only
on the theoretical level but also in terms of its relevance with respect to public policy processes | en_US |
