POLITICS 757

Comparative Public Policy


Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for POLITICS 757.

Description

This course explores public policy actors, processes and outcomes from a cross-national perspective. It does so by engaging with a range of conceptual and methodological approaches employed by policy scholars, and introduces students to debates around the best ways of explaining and understanding policy-making and policy outcomes - that is, the relative importance of interests, institutions and ideas at the domestic level, as well as international factors such as "globalisation" and international organisations and conventions that enable diffusion and transfer of policy across countries. Students will have the opportunity to investigate a policy issue in-depth using a comparative approach.
