Course description
This course is designed to give students an advanced introduction to public policy research. Students will learn about the landmark contributions that define the field of public policy and the cutting-edge perspectives that are driving it forward today. These perspectives illuminate knowledge about the politics of policy, the processes through which it is produced, the methodologies used to analyse it, and the paradigms, landscape and institutions that envelop it. Absorbing this knowledge leads to learning outcomes that are both scholarly and applicable to the real world of policy and public service (and the large job market that surrounds it).
