This post need a premise… I am not a professional in political sciences and i didn’t read to much about that… probably what I will write will just be part of the personal set of wired theories…

The policy machinery

  1. a standard is chosen;
  2. basing on that standard, an end is chosen;
  3. in order to reach that end, means are chosen;

Type of choices involved

  1. the choice of a standard is an ethic (moral) choice
  2. the choice of an end basing on a standard is a coherence (logical) choice
  3. the choice of means which fit an end is an empiric (scientific) choice
