Australian Governments and Public Policy - POIR633
This unit examines the policy making process, drawing on a range of current literature in public policy and policy analysis. The unit uses theories of the state and distribution of power in explaining and analysing the different stages of the policy process, through formulation, decision-making, implementation and evaluation. It considers the range of actors and institutions which are active in the policy process and explores the ways in which they work in policy networks. The unit focuses on the Australian policy context and uses case studies from contemporary Australian policy.
