Independent Research Project in Law, Governance and Policy - LAWS812
In this unit students will consolidate their understanding of modern theories of governance. They will examine critiques of 'governance' from different disciplinary perspectives. Case studies will be reviewed from the following areas: human rights, public health, privacy, environmental governance and corporate governance.
Students will apply an interdisciplinary lens to produce an independent research paper or policy reform proposal (6,000 words) that builds on their research proposal developed in LAWS818. Students may focus on international, national or local governance issues.
