As the Nobel prize winner of Economics in 1986, James Buchanan represents the public choice approach that conceptualizes “politics as process” whereby different interests in society are discovered and exchanged efficiently without appealing to “supra-individual” values available out-there Charles W. Anderson also proposes to conceptualize policymaking as “a process of reasoned deliberation, argument, and criticism rather than a pragmatic calculus” (p. 406)
