Australian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Decision-making is usually studied in the context of a particular choice or institution. This article proposes an alternative, cross-cutting approach. It argues that federal policy-making involves three forms of rationality - technical, economic and political. Standard operating procedures develop around each. This simplifies much decision-making but may also produce narrowness of outlook and a failure to see other dimensions to a policy problem. - Reproduced
