课程特征 Course Features：
What is public policy? Who are the key actors and what institutions are involved? How is it shaped by, and how does it impact upon, an economic, social and cultural environment which is increasingly globalised? This programme investigates the international public policy environment in terms of global political economy and the impact of business, voluntary sector and public policy agents in the field of multi-level governance. The programme encompasses both a theoretical understanding of the policy process and models of appraisal with a practical orientation to evaluating research evidence.
课程内容 Course Content ：
As well as considering generic policy concerns, the programme allows you the opportunity to choose from a range of substantive policy issues. These include poverty and social exclusion; penal policy; organisations and public management; cities, housing and public policy; health and public policy; migration, asylum and human rights in the European Union. While all the programme units consider policy in an international and comparative context, particular emphasis is placed on Europe and East Asia.
