Public policy refers to the actions, decisions, and laws enacted by governments to address societal issues and regulate the behavior of individuals, organizations, and institutions. It is the framework through which governments address the challenges and opportunities within a society, from healthcare and education to national security and environmental sustainability. Public policies are designed to reflect the values, priorities, and needs of a nation or community, and they aim to improve the well-being of its citizens by ensuring justice, fairness, and social welfare. The study of public policy involves understanding its concepts, the process of its formulation, and the impact it has on society.
