This book provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to the policy process, policy analysis, and strategic foresight within the Philippine context. It examines how public issues are identified, framed, placed on the policy agenda, formulated into policy, implemented, evaluated, and improved through evidence-based analysis. The discussion also covers the roles of government institutions, citizens, policymakers, and other stakeholders in shaping policy decisions and outcomes. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches are presented as essential tools for examining complex policy problems, while strategic foresight methods help learners anticipate emerging risks, explore multiple plausible futures, and develop adaptive responses. Through Philippine examples, case studies, reflection activities, and a cumulative Policy Case Build, the book equips graduate students, educators, administrators, researchers, and public-sector leaders with the analytical and future-oriented skills needed for responsible governance and effective policy decision-making.
