Content
This unit explains the process of Policy Making as distinct from most other units in this degree which are concerned with policy content and particular policy issues. This unit therefore considers, and critically engages with, a conventional classification of eight stages in ‘the policy cycle’. Students will be encouraged to identify into which stages of the cycle various particular policy activities are best classified. The relative importance in determining outcomes of different ‘policy actors’ will be discussed and analysed. The need for effective policy evaluation, and challenges in how to achieve this, will be given particular attention.
