What role does the public administration process play in policy execution and policy formation? Do you believe that administrators play a central-enough role in contributing to the formation process?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. Public administration contributes to the shaping and execution of policies. Policy declarations of intent from the legislature and the chief executive are translated into reality through administration as policy execution. Administration’s role in policy formation occurs in two ways: in the shaping of policy before the constitutionally empowered legislature and chief executive have made their policy decisions, and in making sense of statutes or executive orders after the legislature and chief executive have enacted or issued them.
