On Political Engineering, Computational Politics, Public Policy Engineering, and Computational Public Policy
By Ashu M. G. Solo
Ashu M. G. Solo originated the new interdisciplinary fields of “political engineering,” “computational politics,” “public policy engineering,” and “computational public policy” in a research paper in 2011 and followed this up with more research papers describing political engineering, computational politics, public policy engineering, and computational public policy.
It's important to distinguish between politics and public policy: http://factmyth.com/factoids/policy-is-different-than-politics/
The term “political engineering” had been previously used to describe the design of political institutions, but this was a misuse of the term “engineering” because it required no engineering.
Public policy engineering as defined by Ashu M. G. Solo is the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science to solving problems in public policy. Computational public policy as defined by Ashu M. G. Solo is the application of computer science or mathematics to solving problems in public policy. Public policy engineering and computational public policy include, but are not limited to, principles and methods for public policy formulation, decision making, analysis, modeling, optimization, forecasting, and simulation.

Ashu M. G. Solo saw the need to originate new fields on the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and natural science to solving problems in public policy after seeing that legislators usually determine spending priorities and budget allocations based on passions of the moment, special interest lobbying, parochial interests, ignorant public opinion, or their own ideological biases rather than on a rigorous mathematical and computational analysis of how spending priorities and budget allocations can be made for the greatest public benefit.
Ashu M. G. Solo saw the need to originate new fields on the application of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and natural science to solving problems in politics after seeing that many politicians often determine how to spend limited campaign funds on advertising in certain geographic areas based on their best guesses rather than on a rigorous mathematical and computational analysis of how funds should be allocated for the greatest benefit to their campaigns.
Ashu M. G. Solo originated political engineering, computational politics, public policy engineering, and computational public policy in this research paper in 2011:
