Politics of Change

The Politics of Change is the bringing about of a real ‘change’ in the functioning of a government, its beliefs, laws and policies that has been adopted since early times but had seen little difference in recent times. The word ‘Change’ itself is a big theme of the Presidential debates and caucuses but the sole power lies in the hands of voters who should believe in changing things to suit contemporary requirements. A new public policy is an outcome of politics of change but analysts opine even though every electoral candidate talks about ‘change’ it is not what matters all the but ‘innovation’ is the key to success.

Bringing about new things into existing policies is not what is required all the time, but doing things differently itself could reap expected benefits. The popular book Politics of Change by Dennis W. Chu strongly addresses the topic of finding ideal government by shaping up a candidate with strong beliefs for a social cause. The main reason for non existence of public policy innovators are anti-government ideologies had rose high shading public policy innovation, the term liberal is now said as slur and national standardized tests in schools that deter students from thinking innovative along with mutually shared political recrimination.

The concept of change can be applied only to certain areas while the politics of change is more like a metaphor that urges the government to think different, think ahead to face problems of today and tomorrow. Besides improvisational steps in technology and entrepreneurship, the government and the Presidency is responsible for balanced growth in all public sectors including social practices, newly exercised laws and even traffic management solutions by the government. Always, there had been yes or no type solutions while the legal body never thought beyond what is necessary.

So far, in political milieu it’s all about no tax versus tax hikes, immigration amnesty versus deporting illegal immigrants and jurisdiction discretion or prison sentences which is all inane as there is not third choice beyond these. The current political framework limits politician powers to a certain extent and makes it impossible to innovate which in other words is going against government lines for the public welfare and betterment of the nation. Innovators are the root of Politics of change who can think from the other side, reframe the debate for effective outcomes, think visionary and clear their mistakes besides accepting them.
