Answer 3

There is a subtle distinction between the realms of politics and public policy, and while they share overlap, they generally concern different disciplines.

Politics, or the academic field of political science, is the discipline concerning how power, government, and laws are shaped and determined. In the very general sense, there are two classifications: normative and positive.

In common discourse, normative statements are concerned with what "should" be done. They are opinionated and often value based, though most normative statements try to infer conclusions from facts that are known. With respect to politics, you will hear normative statements most often when political discussion arises about what the government should do, whether it be with your peers or debate between your friends.

Positive statements are detailed statements about what "is". In political science, positive statements are those that characterize a government by its structure and hierarchical levels. Positive political statements attempt to make no recommendation about what a government ought to do.

In contrast, Public Policy, in both the academic and colloquial senses, refers to objectives that are undertaken to resolve societal problems. Unlike the field of political science, public policy largely disregards discourse on how power ought to be appropriated, and instead focuses on how resources can be distributed to face challenges, while taking into account societal values, laws, and practicality.

As a very rough description, you can think of public policy as the intersection between economics, political science, and philosophy. Recommendations that are made to resolve societal issues are known as policy recommendations, and are taken into account by political authorities who ultimately have the final say.

Thus, to summarize the above, you can think of political science as the study of how people attain power and positions of authority, and public policy as the study of how societal problems should be resolved.
