Introduction and aim of the course
ESSPA aims to fill a gap in the catalogue of courses in contemporary policy analysis in Europe, where the analysis of public policy is underrepresented in the universities’ curricula. Although policy theory is generally part of public administration curricula, policy analysis is usually absent. Whenever is taught, it’s often based on welfare economic or public choice approaches to public policy.
ESSPA aims to teach young scholars working on policy analytic subjects a wide range of theoretical approaches, methods of analysis, exemplars of problem formulation/analytic technique, develop dissertation projects, and stimulate closer academic co-operation between researchers in policy science.
General objectives: bring awareness of advanced policy theory and analytic methods to young scholars, develop exemplars and formats for teaching contemporary policy analysis in political science and public administration curricula, disseminate best practices in policy analysis that combine theoretical insights, solid empirical work, and relevant, informed advice.
Expected Outputs: contribute substantially to fill a gap in the teaching of public policy in Europe, bring together a faculty of policy instructors that covers a wide range of topics and approaches in policy research, provide students of public policy with a unique opportunity to experience a broad, in-depth exposure to policy research.
