Public Management and Governance - POIR823
This unit introduces students to the role of the State in policy-making. Exploring a range of theoretical approaches, the unit provides a critical examination of an array of issues fundamental to the functioning of the contemporary State in a number of international settings. Some of the issues covered are the relationship between bureaucracy and interest groups, public administration reform, the role of the State and public administration in development, the role of ideas in administrative and policy change, and the relationship between social capital and governance. This unit will provide students the opportunity to undertake independent research into a number of these areas.
