Models are only useful if they help us identify key aspects of policy, mimic reality, communicate concepts in a meaningful way, give means by which they can be tested, and hypothesize about the causes and consequences of public policy.
Order and Simplify Reality
Models need to strike a balance between simplifying reality in order to analyze political life and the danger of oversimplifying.
Identify What Is Significant
A difficult task in applying any model is determining what aspects of public policy must be included.
Be Congruent with Reality

Provide Meaningful Communication
A model is only meaningful if it is based on ideas for which some consensus exists.
Direct Inquiry and Research
Any model must be testable and capable of being validated.
