Formulation of public policy is very different. Good public policy will rest on a solid knowledge base, but the knowledge base must be broad enough to encompass the many factors and facets that bear on a policy issue. It also includes political will and social strategy, the “means by which we apply our knowledge and political will to improve or initiate programs.”1(p388)
