Summary/Abstract: The author explains the policy account of government and points out that policy is only one of the many possible accounts of the process of government. The policy perspective is characterised by an understanding of government as a more or less conscious attempt to manage collective problems. Still, even inside the policy camp, there are three different accounts of policy: authoritative choice, structured interaction and social construction. The author concludes that the three accounts are complementary and useful for understanding the process of government
