Question Answered step-by-step Reply to this post (political discussion) As mentioned in the… Reply to this post (political discussion)As mentioned in the course notes, there are multiple ways that we can categorize policy instruments. I’m not certain that this would fall under the umbrella of categorization, but I chose to look at sustainability as a concept. By using this, we could see each level depending on the chance/level of sustainability the policy must have. At the most sustainable, all policy implementations and changes would be covered. At the least sustainable, there would be a lack of effort, resources, etc., to ensure the policy sees success. Using the subsidy example with the doctors, at the most sustainable, all things related to the subsidy would be covered and doctors would have the resources they need (rural or not). At the least, doctors would be faced with a staff shortage, funding shortage, etc. Some advantages would be that all policies could have a plan in place cover funding, employees, etc. Some disadvantages could be an unwillingness on behalf of society. While everything would be covered, there would have to be initiatives to get groups or individuals to take part in these policies. That’s where the aspect of coerciveness could go hand in hand with the sustainability aspect. You should follow and answer those questions when you reply.1-In your responses, remember to be careful to be respectful of your peers. Your comments should focus on issues and concepts.2-Do you have other ideas about the advantages and disadvantages of the concept your group member chose?3-Given the advantages and disadvantages discussed by your group member, do you think it is more useful to use their concept or another one?4-Can you think of any other advantages or disadvantages of providing one policy option vs multiple policy options?5-Do you think the type of government (local vs federal/provincial) is important to consider when evaluating advantages and disadvantages of providing one or more policy options? Or do you think that the advantages and disadvantages are the same for all types of governments? POSC Social Science Political Science POSC 1000 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
