Comparative Public Policy - POL802

The framework of public policy-making has become internationalised in recent years. This unit will examine the range of approaches for comparing policies and programs in circumstances of increasing globalisation, considering the international and domestic institutions, structures and agents involved in these processes and the methods used to evaluate policy "borrowing". The unit will evaluate theories and frameworks concerned with policy transfer and policy learning and apply these critically to real-world instances of policy-making.
