Course description
This course uses the comparative approach to analyse public policy across a number of nations. In doing so the course illuminates policy processes and policy outcomes in foreign and domestic contexts, providing valuable lessons about how governments can do things differently and how policy is transferred internationally. The course also equips students with an understanding of the how comparative methodology can be applied in policy settings to draw out international lessons.
