Javne politike i policy analiza: modeli, kultura i praksa
Policy and Policy Work: Models, Culture, Practice

Summary/Abstract: Orientation to policy as a key notion in the analysis of the government’s efficiency has its sources in Anglo-Saxon systems of representative government. Some of the key culturological norms of this mode of government, which include confrontation of positions, hierarchy, and selection, are the foundation of numerous works about public politics, usually defined as a process of selection of legitimate and responsible government’s officials. There is also, however, a discourse opposed to this, which emphasizes government’s restrictions based on hierarchy, and policy is above all looked at as a structured interaction. These two opposed standpoints are interrelated and cannot be considered separately. It can, however, be said that considering the relation between the two approaches there are considerable differences between Anglo-Saxon systems and systems existent in other countries of the Western Europe. This way a question is also posed about the meaning of policy and public politics in other political systems, for example in South-Eastern Asia or ex-socialist countries of the Eastern Europe.
