Abstract
This course introduces students to the field of public policy. It is focused on a comprehensive process of forming, implementing, and analyzing decisions aimed at solving socially significant problems. The course examines public policy as a cycle that includes agenda setting, policy alternative development and formulation, decision-making, implementation, evaluation and feedback. During the course we will discus the role of key actors (state institutions, media, expert communities, interest groups, social movements), the institutional frameworks themselves, and theoretical approaches that are designed to analyze policy processes.
Learning Objectives
- The purpose of the course is to familiarize students with the current theoretical approaches to public policy and to provide them with a systemic understanding of how policymaking is organized in different circumstances and contexts. Students will be introduced to theoretical frameworks and learn to apply them to analyze specific cases from various fields (social, environmental, security, etc.). This allows for the development of critical thinking, analytical skills in working with information, and better grasp of different peculiarities associated with policy processes
