Problems for Defining Problems in Public Policies From Bardach to Noël-Roth

Abstract

The existing problems for the definition of the problem to be addressed in a public policy, are usually one of the main concerns of analysts, that is why within the framework of this complexity are addressed in the document, approaches outlined by authors of various currents theoretical, that although they do not express a single thread, they demarcate an observable concern in the classic literature analyzed. From the documentary analysis we can observe from the visions referred to the definition of the problem to be addressed in a public policy, going on to specify the importance of the subject and the identification of some errors when it comes to achieving such identification, until the definition of proposals to address public policies from the definition of the problem and its design. It was found that the definition of problems for this context is advanced in a wrong way based on a bet that ignores citizen participation and that is studied outside the government and the political regime. There is a need to transform these predominant visions not only in literature but also in society, which implies the possible challenge of creating own models for the formulation of public policies.
