The study of public policy must be concerned with political activity, with the development and content of policies, with the processes which shape them and the institutions which mould them. These factors simply cannot be readily separated. Whether individual studies concentrate on policy or processes or institutions, the drawing together of those threads is at the centre of our concern.
