Policy Analysis and Evaluation

Policy analysis is about finding out what governments do, why they do it, and what difference those activities make.  One result of that process is considering the termination of a program.  However, this is not an easy process.
(1) Why are government programs seldom terminated?  Provide at least three reasons in your response.
(2) Please present an example of a government program that should have been terminated and explain how it may have survived (think about stakeholders and their interests).
