Focus:

As Rinfret et.al. conclude, "Public policy is far greater than understanding how a bill becomes a law and is better understood through the lens of the doers of public policy. Recall that the doers of US public policy are the individuals on the front lines of public policy implementation... Most notably, these individuals can serve as consensus makers in an era of policy divisiveness... public policy can have multiple options; public policy is driven by facts; and public policy is a consensus-making process. These themes help us to identify our own policy future...public policy is not possible without the implementation carried out by individuals who are experts across policy areas who navigate dynamic enterprise. As our subsequent chapters suggest, public policy is dynamic and has evolved over time, influenced by societal events, institutional and noninstitutional actors, and defined by our own preferences... Inevitably, the outcome of consensus is that no one is necessarily happy with the end result because there is not a specific winner or loser. Public policymaking is not perfect, but if the end result is informed by expertise and multiple pathways, then we can all benefit because it was collectively decided" (pgs. 301-302; 310, Kindle Edition).
