Planning, Analysis & Evaluation of Public Policy
This course deals with how politics shapes the issues on the policy agenda and how policy development can influence politics; the search for policy options and alternatives; the policy arguments underlying solutions and instruments selected by policymakers; and the implementation and out- comes of public policy. This course also investigates different stages of the policy process, including agenda-setting, policy change, design, and implementation; as well as monitoring and evaluation of policy. We also investigate specific policy institutions, such as the bureaucracy, interest groups, and the legislature.
