• Public Policy
  "Public policy encompasses the analysis and management of public problems. At its most simple this means seeking to understand and resolve the problems that arise when people form societies. At its most complex this means trying to find a balance between core social values (such as liberty or equality), environmental concerns, and political constraints."
