This paper examines the determination of a policy area in light of external (institutions) and internal factors (actors) in the policy formulation process. The process is divided into four stages: (1) recognition of the policy problem, (2) establishment of an agenda, (3) planning and adoption of policy proposals, and (4) implementation and evaluation of the policy. The study is based on the Green Employment Project and the Special Grant System for Urgent Creation of Local Employment of 2001. A field linking forestry management and employment has become a policy area in which various actors, including the government and relevant stakeholders, are involved.
