Abstract:
The understanding of the essence of public policy is the logical foundation of the public policytheory system and the logical starting point of constructing policy ideas and carrying out policy activitiesin practice. While the prevailing views on the nature of public policy show different aspects from differentangles and to varying degrees,they do not further analyze the relation between state and society implied inpublic policy. In other words,they fail to give a clear answer to such questions:What does the social willreflected by publicity and the state’s will reflected by policy mean in the policy process? How do they interactwith each other? And what effect do they produce? To keep digging into these problems will help us get anew understanding of the essence of public policy. In modern democratic politics,the relation between thesocial will and the state’s will can be described as“ contrasting-blending”,and the essence of public policycan be recognized as the combination of the two wills and the result of their combination. This compositionalrelationship exists in the whole public policy process:from formulation,to implementation,to evaluation andto termination. It is of theoretical value and practical significance to look into the essence of public policy fromsuch a perspective.
