The beginning step involves virtually any party involved (e.g., constituents, special interest groups, lobbyists, government agency, the Governor, etc.), both identifying a problem and proposing solutions to said problem. Defined by Hamric et al. (2014), this stage is the policy formulation phase. Hamric et al.
