which of the following models of public policy involves the iron triangle?

1. incrementalism model
2. rationalism model
3. public-choice model
4. sub-government model

Explanation:

The iron triangle is a concept in public policy. The sub - government model (also known as the iron triangle model) consists of three elements: interest groups, congressional sub - committees, and bureaucratic agencies. These three entities have a symbiotic relationship. Interest groups provide campaign contributions and support to congressional sub - committees. Congressional sub - committees, in turn, provide funding and favorable legislation to bureaucratic agencies. Bureaucratic agencies then provide benefits and services to interest groups.
The incrementalism model focuses on making small, incremental changes to existing policies. The rationalism model assumes that policymakers can identify all possible alternatives, evaluate them based on clear goals, and choose the optimal one. The public - choice model applies economic principles to political decision - making, looking at the self - interest of voters, politicians, and bureaucrats.

Answer:

1. Sub - Government Model
