Abstract

In this article two approaches of policy making are distinguished : the analytical and the process management approach. The first stresses the importance of creating a substantively sound policy, the latter focuses on the proces of policy development. In the past the two camps have been partially ignoring each other, with the result that the one approach misses what the other approach possesses. It is tried to create an integration of the two visions by developing a double helix approach on policy development. This double helix approach is designed by identifying the potential risks of the analytical and the process management approach. These risks are used for constructing bridges between the two approaches. In this way the bridges form the principles of the double helix approach, which are described in detail in this article.
