Abstract
Different frameworks related to policy-making analysis and policy modelling have been developed in the literature. These frameworks are generally spread across multidiscipline sciences like public policy; political science, computer science and social sciences. Policy Frameworks address general forms of theoretical analysis, by identifying the elements and their relationships. These elements can include for example: governance structure; policy process; stakeholders; and institutions structure. However, there is no standard categorization or classification for these frameworks. And with the growing development in the policy analytics and policy modelling, there is a rising need to review existing policy frameworks and develop categorization criteria able to classify frameworks concerned by policy-making analysis and policy modelling. This chapter will go through the main frameworks used in understanding the policy making process, in order to make a general overview frameworks for Policy analytics.
