Abstract

In this article, two former staff members of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff present their views of one of the federal government's most important policy offices. The article provides a description of the unit's organizational characteristics and responsibilities, an historical assessment of the office under successive chiefs, and an evaluation and discussion of the characteristics that have contributed most to its effectiveness. The authors assess the office's effectiveness using the criteria that a successful policy office is one that can both influence policy issues and sustain that influence over a reasonable period. They conclude by identifying the principal characteristics, be they staffing, working relationships, organizational hierarchy, and|or substantive responsibilities that make for a first-rate policy analysis unit.
