Decision-Making Models in Public Policies Process: A Transdisciplinary Approach

Summary/Abstract: The decision in the public policies is a process that is based on a cognitive-comprehensive analysis centered on certain models (the rational actor theory, the incrementalism, mixt theory, the model of bureaucratic organisation, game theory, etc.). This article aims to analyse the models of decision-making with a transdisciplinary perspective, through the call made at the classic model of rational actor and game theory. The analysis of each model captures the common dimensions as the actors involved, the decision-making processes, the stages,the mechanisms, the instruments used in order to determine the reliability of each model. The impossibility of establishing the existence of total rational criteria of decision making process, to guarantee the rationality of the actors, the comprehensiveness of the informations- specific elements of the rational theory - brings with it the need for a different approach to public policies. The environment of risk, remove the rationality of the agents, searching different criteria of decision-making beyond the efficiency and effectiveness, searching the strategies for balance, the call to prisoner's dilemma,all these are elements that are uesd by thegame theory in order to explain the decision making process from a complementary perspective, more realistic
