The course provides basic concepts and tools for understanding public policies. Classes will have a practical focus; we will analyse existing policy programmes and experiment with the concepts and tools presented in class.
We will run through the following topics: 1) when policy problems enter the government agenda and how to research policy problems, 2) how to design successful policy programmes, 3) why decision-makers select certain policies and not others, 4) what happens when a new programme is implemented, 5) how to monitor the performance of a policy and evaluate its effectiveness. Examples and case studies may include the following: public administration reforms, corruption prevention, higher education, social assistance, disaster relief, local development, environmental programmes and others.
Attending students will be required to draft a policy project or short essay to be discussed during an oral exam. Non-attending students have to pass a written and oral exam based on the research material provided.
Readings will be provided during the course and made available directly to students.
PLEASE NOTE: Classes will be online Monday 3:30-5:30pm; Wednesday 3:30-5:30pm. All classes will be in English, but don’t panic: basic language skills will make you get through successfully.RESEARCH MATERIAL
