Key Points
- Values setting (1): This stage involves identifying the values and priorities of the society that will inform the public policy decisions but does not specifically focus on exploring potential responses.
- Policy formulation (2): This stage is where the government explores potential policy responses to address identified issues. It involves analyzing options, drafting proposals, and developing strategies to address the problems at hand. This option is correct as it directly relates to the exploration of potential policy responses.
- Policy implementation (3): This phase occurs after policy formulation and involves putting the developed policy into action. It does not involve exploring new responses.
- Policy feedback (4): In this stage, the outcomes of the policy are evaluated, and feedback is gathered to assess its effectiveness, leading to possible revisions or new formulations. It does not involve exploring potential responses.
- The correct answer is Option 2: Policy formulation, as this is the stage where the government explores potential policy responses.
