Why this book

Most health proposals fail long before anyone argues about the evidence: they are addressed to no one who can act on them. A tax on sugary drinks, a school-canteen rule and a front-of-pack label each belong to a different body, working under a different law, by a different procedure. This book teaches the reader to find that body and that authority for any proposal, to see the frame a public argument is working inside, and to keep apart two jobs that are easily confused: informing a decision and campaigning for one. It ends with a one-page note on a real Indian proposal that names who decides.

How to read it

Read it in order. The early sections build a map of who makes policy in India and how; the later ones use that map on framing and on the difference between research and advocacy. The exercises are decisions, not sums: name the body, name the power it acts under, name the frame. Do them as you go; the note at the end uses all three.

Before you start

Book 0, and above all its Part F: reading a table, checking a reference, telling a premise from a conclusion, and the section on how government works (Parliament and the State Legislatures, the executive, the courts; statute, rule, regulation and notification), which this book builds on directly. No mathematics beyond Book 0 is used, and there are no calculations: the practice sets are exercises in tracing a decision to its body and reading a frame, not arithmetic. Book 4, on food systems, is helpful but not required; where this book uses a programme Book 4 describes, it gives the one fact it needs.

1 A proposal is not a policy

2 Four jobs around a decision: propose, advise, decide, carry out

3 Where a body’s power comes from

4 Union, State or local: whose subject is it

5 Inside the Union government: Cabinet, ministries, departments

6 How an Act is made

7 How a rule or regulation is made, and where the public gets in

8 Schemes and budgets: policy without a statute

9 When no single body decides

10 The people around a decision

11 Finding who decides: the tracing method

12 What a frame is

13 The frames obesity is argued in

14 The frame sets the menu

15 Reading the frame in a public argument

16 What evidence can settle in a policy choice, and what it cannot

17 Informing policy and campaigning for it

18 Worked journey: A one-page note on one Indian proposal
