This course will introduce the key actors, institutions and stages of the policy process and will explore different policy strategies that can be used to achieve and tackle transformative change. Students will learn how institutions are affected by and can enable transformation processes and theories that allow to analyse and explain policy processes including agenda-setting, policy-making, policy implementation and evaluation. We will analyse and discuss policy strategies in policy areas and transformation processes such as demographic changes, climate crisis, digitalisation and transformation of democracies.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand
- essential elements of policy strategies
