title: Policy analysis.
abstract: While policy is central to our understanding of the government and conduct of everyday life in both our professional and personal capacities, it is a slippery concept. This paper explores various writers' definitions of the term and looks at some aspects ofpolicy analysis. This is a form of research in its own right as well as one element in the mixed bag of research approaches and tools from which small scale researchers are likely to draw in the course of conducting a study.
