The course is designed as an advanced introduction into actual issues of the current policy process research. Based on the critical reading and analysis of essential contributions to this field, it is focused on the particular approaches to the study of the policy process (IADF, ACF, MSF, and NPF). Students are led in the interactive way to link theoretical findings with contemporary practice.
