Dr. Grace emphasised on the basics of public policy and elaborated on its relations with different governance models. Addressing students’ queries, Dr. Grace discussed the popular idea of public policy, examined the history of the study of government and administration-the action part of the government while conceptualising and inter-linking public policy within its realm and recognising the emerging interdisciplinary nature of the study.
