Preamble

Today fewer citizens are voting and fewer citizens feel that they can influence public policy. One way to reverse this trend would be for schools to offer courses on the pragmatics of political advocacy. One person can make a difference if they know what they are doing.

The nature and character of Public Policy Advocacy, to a large extent is shaped up by the political culture, social systems and the constitutional framework of the country in which it is being practiced.

It is the practice which makes the theory of advocacy and not vice versa.
