From the Paper:

"Public policymaking is often hard to describe. At best, the development can seem obscure to those on the outside of the process. And at its worst it can often seem underhanded, especially to those groups or individuals who felt they had contributions to make but were never offered the chance to make them. Of course, one can say this is the nature of politics in general, unfortunately politics has a negative connotation for many people."
