Policy Analysis

Course Description:
This is a course about preparing, designing and selecting public policy (public strategies, programmes and projects). It is mainly on analytical approaches and methods that are intended to guide policy design and to structure policy choice. The course looks at approaches and techniques in a politically aware way, and. considers throughout how they may work in practice. This shows fundamental limits upon, as well as specific roles for, prescriptive policy analysis. While policy makers may see themselves as producing social change through intellectual endeavour, they are embedded in and are the product of broad processes of social and intellectual change. Policy making is a social (multi-actor) process involving a battle of ideas and struggles over resources, with competitive and collaborative interactions between various groups who have diverse beliefs, interests and information.
