QUESTION 1
Is the following statement true or false?
In South Africa, international and interstate agreements are only binding if they
are ratified by both houses of parliament (the National Assembly and the National
Council of Provinces).
1. True
2. False
QUESTION 2
Who defined policy as the authoritative allocation through the political process,
of values to groups or individuals in society?
1. Petrus Brynard
2. Thomas Dye
3. David Easton
4. Baker, Michaels and Preston
5. Austin Ranney
QUESTION 3
For various different reasons, policy makers sometimes delay or avoid making
policy decisions. For example, policy makers may find it too difficult to decide
what the best policy is for fighting crime. The decision may be difficult because
policy makers are afraid that the specific policy they choose could be unpopular
with the electorate. However, if policy makers do not decide to choose a policy
response this does not mean that the problem will simply go away. What happens
is that policy makers can now only react to the problem with ad hoc decision-
making instead of adopting a formal policy response. Because there is no formal
policy response, ad hoc uncoordinated policy reactions to issues and problems
become routine over time and informal practices become formal policy
responses. What do we call this approach to policy decision-making?
