The policy interconnectivity approach
Typology and methodological applicability
Abstract
The policy cycle is an analytical tool that have allowed us to simplify and order government processes. However, given the complexity of public scenario, alternative analytical develpments were also proposed for its approach and treatment. Therefore, several emergent approaches have been generated in recent years to provide a more precise and comprehensive vision of the phe-nomena of collective life and the institutional treatment they require. This paper moves on that direction and suggests a policy analitycal framework that use concepts previously explored by quantum physics: the phe-nomenon of particle entanglement is here translated into the language of public policy. It refers to the premise that the state of a given policy affects another one’s, even without having an apparent link or being distant in terms of subject matter or geographical scope of applica-tion. Thus, in addition to addressing the essential characteristics of this proposal, this pa-per includes some basic and exploratory reflections on the types of interconnections that may occur and their methodological applicability as an analytical-tool.
