- What is desirable from the perspective of policy analysis and policy expertise is not always what is legislatively feasible in the face of established institutions and multiple and competing interests and values. Although the impetus for pursuing apolitical approaches to making public policy is understandable, it often rests on decision-making models that circumvent or diminish democratic processes and side step critical issues related to political power.
