Consider the following statements :

1. The rationalist paradigm of public policy is dominated by scholars of public administration rather than by political scientists.
2. The incrementalist paradigm of public policy making and implementation is theoretical, effectual, prescriptive and normative. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The rationalist paradigm (systems theory, PPBS) emerged from public administration scholars like Simon, who wanted scientific, comprehensive policy analysis - not political scientists. Statement 2 is wrong - incrementalism (Lindblom) is explicitly descriptive and anti-normative, rejecting prescriptive models. It emphasizes realistic 'muddling through' rather than idealistic designs.
