Course Description

This course examines what governments do or choose not to do. It explores how public policy is formulated, implemented and evaluated, and what governance processes are typically followed. It also covers circumstances under which governments may choose to abstain from taking policy action. It approaches the study of public policy in both theory and practice and in the context of national and international politics, with both an Australian and comparative focus.
