This module will examine public policy in a comparative, international and global perspective. A key theme will be the challenges that globalization poses to politics and policy in the contemporary context. Gender, race, class and colonization will inform our comparison of policies and policy systems. This module also explores the increasing internationalization of public policy and the advent of global public policy, whereby international organizations play a powerful role in shaping public policy development in the developing world and in post-communist states. Topics covered may include comparative methodology and international variation in formulation and response to issues, such as climate change, poverty, health, immigration and welfare. This module will include staff inputs and guest speakers.
