A methodological perspective on 21st century public policy analysis studies

Abstract

This study methodologically examines the public policy analysis studies published in various prestigious journals (SSCI-indexed). In this context, in the study, 143 articles published in the mentioned journals between 2000-2019 were subjected to content analysis. The articles were coded and grouped into six main areas such as public administration policies, health policies, environmental policies, economic policies, education policies and information and communication policies. Together with the analysis, it was investigated which methods and data collection techniques were used to analyze the public policy analysis stud-ies in these six areas.
