Policy could be studied on the basis of three different models: ideological, social science, & policy sciences. Policy in accordance with ideology may not necessarily rely on solid rigorous research to back it up. Policy made solely in accordance with a rigorous social science model might be able to demonstrate a causal relationship between a given policy & desired outcomes, & in the process establish a clear role for good research in the policy process. But it often fails to account for the larger social & political context in which policy is formulated. Good policy should be based on rigorous social science research, while also factoring in the values of the broader society, that is, ideology. This would imply that in order to bridge the gap, that good policy should be formulated in accordance with the policy sciences model because it connects the rigorous methodology of the social sciences with the larger social policy context, that is, the broader policy process. When analyzing the reform of 1996 within the framework of these models, it becomes clear that while the legislation is highly ideological, it is not based on any serious research that would satisfy the criteria of the social science model. It fails the policy sciences model, in part, because its absence of clearly defined objectives, or a single objective, makes the task of measurement difficult. On the contrary, this legislation is a good example of why the policy community would do better to rely more on the policy sciences. 65 References. Adapted from the source document.

Elihu Root has sometimes been referred to as a U.S. Secretary of
State who specialized in Latin-American affairs. It is difficult to determine whether this specialized interest was Root's personal choice or was forced upon him by the growing complexity of inter-American affairs during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. One need not make a choice as to the major source of Root's interest in Latin America, for his policy reflects a combination of personal interest and circumstance. The most notable illustration of this combination occurred in 1906.
