The relationship & possible linkages between organization theory & political science are explored. A significant divergence exists between them at present. However, recently created organizational typologies suggest the importance of relationships between organizations & the political system, & research on this topic has been conducted by adherents of both disciplines. Possible directions for future research are outlined. 75 References. Modified Author Summary.

The study of policy is above all the study of collective activity that affects a number of units of behavior & has a number of levels of interaction; many units of analysis must be used to interpret an activity in terms of its effects on many levels of state activity. The modern state is policy-determined, & can manipulate opinion quite apart from parties & ideologies, & even economics. In an autonomous state, structural analysis of policy would concentrate on "plausibility." Plausibility accrues when the state shows its ability to undertake certain actions despite its institutional constraints. Policy studies traditionally search for ways to maximize results; several views of how policy relates to politics are discussed. The "paradigm of plausibility" approach is presented as the most comprehensive, in which there is a reformulation of how policy relates to politics. The idea of plausibility looks at how a variety of norms are achieved. Trends in the literature suggest that policy determines politics & stems from jointness of demands placed on governmental performance. 1 Diagram. B. Hubinger.
