The course is designed to deepen understanding of actual issues of the current policy process research and to present several policy process frameworks (IADF, NPF, ACF, and MSF) and their link to current policy practice. It intends to lead students to convey theoretical findings into practice and back, and to engage them in critical thinking and studying of public policy issues.
