At a time of multiplying public problems, and a finite number of resources, it becomes a paramount concern to select those public policy problems that deserve placement on the national policy agenda. This collision of mounting public problems and limited public resources presents a significant challenge to policy analysts. They must not only address issues that affect the most considerable number of citizens, but that also warrant timely and often costly policy solutions. In this paper, you consider the vast array of public policy problems in the country today. You select an issue that you feel demands an immediate placement on the national policy agenda. You also provide a rationale for selecting that particular policy problem to the exclusion of others that might also warrant a response from elected decision-makers.
For this paper:
1.) Submit a brief 2-page paper that includes the following three bullets below:
• The public policy problem you will analyze (the issue that demands an immediate placement on the national policy agenda).
• Which decision-maker you will address your analysis paper to.
• Why you believe this is an issue of local, state, national, or international importance.
2.) Include three scholarly resources published in the last three years.
