	The purpose of this article is to present the development of the concept of public policy, which is based on British common law legal system, referring to the concept of politics as the activity of political parties or politicians, involved in competing for that power. Discussing the stages of shaping public policy separately from political science, the overview of the theories, models and main approaches (top-down, bottom-up) to the role of the state in the implementation of public policies in Anglo-Saxon tradition is introduced. The changes in the continental and the EU countries’ tradition of public policy analysis are presented from Ukrainian perspective at the end of the article.
