Description	This chapter discusses the concepts of democratic policymaking, including the institutions, processes, and analysis of public policy. It reviews democracy, the ethic of citizenship for public administrators, and utilitarianism theory. The chapter explores public policy processes and institutions. It analyzes the application of policy analysis to public policies in the variety of methods and approaches commonly used. The chapter also analyzes the different roles of the public servant as policy analyst in promoting democracy, facilitating citizen engagement, and calculating utility. The chapter also reviews the ethical issues and conflicts when public administrators promote democracy and citizenship through voting and other democratic participation. It illustrates and discusses the meanings, strengths, and weaknesses of the utility perspective or utilitarian ethical theory. The making of public policy is not left to one traditional or non-traditional actor alone; it is a complex, interrelated network of individuals, groups, organizations, and even institutions that combine to devise and implement public policy.
