Policy
Explanation:
Con il termine policy si intende la politica pubblica, "reale", contrapposta alla politics che invece soggiace a meri rapporti di forza, su basi ideologica, tra forze politiche e leader. I due significati non sono distinguibili in italiano perché nel nostro vocabolario entrambi i significati ricadono sotto il termine generico di "politica". La differenziazione del termine infatti appartiene in origine al lessico della politica statunitense e della cultura locale fortemente pragmatica.

Vi è una apposita disciplina che si occupa degli studi in questo campo. Essa prende diversi nomi (anche questi evidentemente non traducibili): policy studies, policy inquiry, policy choise o anche più semplicemente public policy.
