HCS455_Week_3_Long.docx The Policy Process HCS/455 Introduction When it comes to the policy process and what goes into making a policy legal and into a law. This paper will explain the stages of the policy process and the key components of each stage. This paper will also discuss formulation, legislation, implementation, analysis and revision of the policy process as well as listing the main stakeholders for each stage in the process. Policy Process Policymaking occurs in three interrelated and cyclical phases: formulation, implementation, and modification (Longest, 2016). Each of these phases will be described in detail as to what the key components are and who the main stakeholders are in the phases. Phase one is the formulation phase. This phase is made up of two distinct and sequential parts: agenda setting and development of legislation (Longest, 2016). The formulation phase results in policy in the specific form of new public laws or the far more likely result of amendments to existing laws. In other phases of the process, policies emerge in the forms of rules and regulations and other implementation decisions; policies in the form of judicial decisions can emerge from throughout the entire process (Longest, 2016). The first part of the formulation phase is the agenda setting. There are a lot of things that happen in this part of the policy making process. This is a crucial initial step in the policymaking process, describing the ways in which particular combinations of problems, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
