regards that rational decisions are not achievable ideals. He explains that agreements have to exist for policies to work out, and there must be set objectives, accurate information, and clear guidance, enabling policymakers to achieve their goals and allow proper implementation. The best method of analysis is allowing equal allocation of resources by allowing pluralism concepts that talk about involving all stakeholders in society to participate in policy formulation. It will assist in removing self-interest among groups, institutions, and individuals. Institutionalization does not allow equal distribution as few elites control and lobby for the power of control, forgetting the poor.

Reply 2: I agree with the globalization model, which is realistic and allows the globe to operate as a single market, making countries export and import goods without any restrictions. It helps the developing nations, and closes gaps with the elites, provides employment, and raises the living standards of citizens. The outbreak of COVID-19 has broken the flow of goods from affected countries, and the economy is slightly breaking up. The effective approach is addressing challenges strategically, to counter them, and prevent future outbreaks. Use of modern technology to empower everyone and apply the multilateral policy-making approach. Open markets and foreign investment should not forget and break local oligopolies.

Reply 3: The realistic theory explained is the institutional theory that explores government institutions involved in the formulation of public policies. I agree with the model, for it explains the need to have adjustments to work properly and promote fair competition within the economy. Self-in interests need to be abolished to avoid corruption among institutions. Another way to approach it is by using pluralist concepts to create equality and fairness in competition. The best way is not allowing the overdominance of particular institutions over others. However, it might result in some groups pulling away from the economy as they are not able to control the market or policies do not favor their interests.

Reply 4: I agree with the pluralist model which analyzes political actions in modern democracies across the globe. There must be equal dispersing of power among the groups in the economy and allows the thriving of every individual. Competition should be equal to boost the entire economy of a country. The best approach of analysis is creating institutions that will oversee equality amongst all the groups across the state and prevent discrimination and self-interest from particular groups. What could happen, however, is the presence of a few individuals with absolute power to control the entire system. Institutions may also fail to interact and coordinate effectively, allowing monopolies to thrive.

Reply 5: The Elite theory, that I do not support talks about power relations in contemporary society. A few individuals called elites are involved in planning networks and holds immense powers that influence policy-makers decisions to favor their interests. Only the wealth in the country enjoys the benefits of power and abilities to create policies that agree with their interests. The poor are left to suffer because they do not control the power of policy-making. The best approach is utilizing pluralist concepts to bring equality. Set rules need formulation to prevent exploitation and monopolies.  Dominance by few can create conflicts and spread of poverty within states.

Reply 6: The pluralism theory is the most realistic concept that I agree with. It explores specific groups within Canada’s government. Some groups of individuals tend to influence and have control over the decisions made in the state, but there is diversity in the country. Pluralism allows fairness in the competition, which is key to the development of Canada, making it a significant economy of the world. All classes within Canada’s society are important and equal; by allowing equality, everyone feels a sense of belonging and value. The best approach is researching further on new technology to open opportunities. The focus should not just center on the natives, because neglecting the outsiders will result in conflicts.

Reply 7: Looking at institutionalism and incremental theories, there is the exploration of governmental institutions that play a role in formulating public policies, and take part in the implementation process. It monopolizes power to coerce obedience to policies. The incremental model relies on concepts of interaction and mutual adaptation of policies among multiple actors. The best approach is creating institutions that are not corrupt and pursuing their selfish interests. What should not be done is allowing a few individuals to dominate and control power within states. All resources need proper allocation and utilization to bring effective strategies and create lasting solutions to the current problems in society.
