Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
A realistic understanding of politics should not concentrate on a single explanatory approach. Recent policy analysis approaches combine the more traditional explanation of politics through interest and power with the notion of learning actors. In this course the students select from different policy learning approaches and apply them to problems from any policy-field (for example higher education policies, migration policies, research policies, health and reproduction policies).
Assessment and permitted materials
Besides the preparation of the project outline, it is of vital importance that all texts are read by the seminar participants. The instructors will provide the texts in the form of a reader. The final grade is determined by the seminar paper (50%) and the assessment of the contribution of the students to in-class discussions (50%).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
One central goal of the course is to gain an improved understanding of policies (and also of politics): the theoretical outlook on politics will be contrasted with a realistic down-to-earth one utilised in the framework of a small research project. The second important goal of the course is to discuss perspectives and methods of modern policy analysis.
Examination topics
A number of approaches in policy learning will be used in order to better understand selected political problems. Methods of empirical research, questions of research design in this work are other important building blocks of the course. The research work will be carried out under the supervision of the course instructors. At the end of the term the work of the students will be discussed.
