Hi all, and welcome to our fifth episode on Public Policy! This episode is going to delve into the issues around policy legitimation, or in other words getting people to support the decisions we've made about how to address or resolve a problem. I'm certain that you've experienced this in real life... think about the last time someone convinced to eat at a place you weren't sure of. How did they do it? Well, this episode is all about how people either buy into government decisions (maybe because they trust government) or the processes we use to make those decisions. Focus on this chapter and episode on understanding what populism is and the difference between majoritarian and non-majoritarian... these items will be key for our upcoming exam!
