PUBLIC POLICY
本文追溯了20世纪70年代至80年代初英国对政策关注的兴起及其后被公共管理部分取代的过程，指出政策关注已在学术研究中制度化，但英国中央政府缺乏对通用政策分析的兴趣。
Public policy is not simply a subset of public administration, but draws on and contributes to a number of aspects of public administration, political science and other disciplines. This article traces the growth of interest in a policy focus in Britain during the 1970s and early 1980s, and its subsequent partial displacement by the emphasis on public management. Despite this partial displacement, the policy focus is now institutionalized in academic research, textbooks, journals and teaching. The recent lack of interest in generic policy analysis by British central government is reflected in the way in which the policy aspects have been an afterthought to managerial and organization changes. There is plenty of scope for further refining the skills of those who research, teach and are taught in public policy.
