Answer:
Policy paralysis is a very wide term and can mean different things at different places.
One of the meaning of policy paralysis is when the policies formed by the government are unable to give the desired result because that policy alone is insufficient to answer all the problems of the subject under consideration.
Say for example Delhi government came out with Odd Even scheme. The scheme failed badly to curb the rising level of pollution and Particular Matter (PM) as cars were not the sole reason of pollution. Pollution so also caused by two wheelers, buses, trucks, industry and so on. Construction activities and fires in land filhal too add to pollution and PM.
The policy required action on other aspects too. Like a tree plantation drive, improving public transport system and providing last mile connectivity, awareness generation, investing in green technologies for industries, urging farmers not tu burn stuble and so on.
This there may be many causes of policy paralysis:
Haste in making policies without consulting all stake holders
Financial issues with policies
Lack of political will in implementing the policies
Bureaucratic and other red tappism related issues.
Absence of policies on other matters which affect the subject of current policies and so on.
Another definition of policy paralysis is a situation where laws and reforms are not passed because of lack of commitment on part of government or inability of the government to reach a consensus over the correct variation of the reform.
