The course aims to introduce students to the study of public policy as a discipline, within a broader context of the development of contemporary societies; to exemplify public policy’s practical application and the ways public policy as a scientific discipline attempts to apprehend social problems and devise solutions thereof; to do so by defining the key terms, theories and approaches of public policy; and to engage students in critical thinking and studying, systematic work with scholarly literature, actively participating in lectures and seminars, and writing scholarly texts.

Základní kurs seznamující studenty se způsoby, jimiž veřejná politika identifikuje sociální problémy a navrhuje cesty jejich řešení. Činí tak vymezením základních pojmů, teorií a analytických přístupů této vědní disciplíny v kontextu vývoje soudobých společností. Vede studenty k samostatnému studiu, ke kritickému myšlení a k systematické práci s odbornou literaturou, k aktivní účasti na výuce v přednáškách i seminářích a k psaní odborných textů.
Upozornění:
Kurs je nabízen v angličtině, nicméně studentům se znalostí češtiny je studium usnadněno poukazem na analogické zdroje v tomto jazyce. Češtinu je možno užívat i v českém semináři a v písemných projevech odevzdávaných v průběhu semestru a u závěrečné písemné zkoušky.
