CAFTA is a public policy that is related to modernization theory.  I don't know if you are looking for specifics, but even if not an example always helps.  The thinking is that low/no tarriffs will increase trade with central america and that will lead to more development/modernization in the area.  The theory effects public policy.  If you don't like that specific one I think the easiest place to find "theories" at work becoming public policy is in international relations and/or trade.  I have no idea if that is anything like what you are looking for, but I tried. :)

If you're looking for something related to our social life or government, you can just take as example what presidents do to their countries. They promise they'll lower taxes for example, they tell us health care will be more efficient... Depending on where you're from (I'd assume from the states) pick for example Bush and some (many) of his promises. Has he done what he said he's do? \nThat's what actions speak louder than words mean. Results come from doing what you said you would do, not just talking about it. \nP.S. If you can, be more specific. It's hard to come up with examples without narrowing it down to more specific areas.

I like to think of pedagogy as the art of teaching a particular subject.  The way to explain topics so that they are best understood in an effiecient way.  \nWith that said, a theory is an idea that has not been proved or disproved.  I think that because we have not perfected the way people learn best, that within pedagogy there can be theories about how people learn.\n\nResearch usually has more to do with collecting information.  When we do research for papers, we gather information to prove our point from a variety of sources.  Scientific research gathers information through experiments to support a hypothesis.
