Course description
This course introduces students to the study of politics and public policy. The topics we discuss - climate change, the financial crisis, globalization, resource taxation, disaster management - have been chosen for two reasons. First, because they are topical and (hopefully) interesting. Second, because they can be analysed using the dominant theories within political science and public policy studies.
