Public policies in Poland and around the world 2100-MON-PPPS-OG
List of detailed issues
1. The concept and essence of public policy. Related categories: power, government, politics and policy, public administration, public management, public governance. Evolution of ways of public policy making. Crucial questions: why, what and who does, how and with what results it acts to solve public problems?
2. The process of creating public policy from a theoretical perspective and scientific research. Contribution of political and administrative sciences and other social disciplines. Main theoretical paradigms, trends and research approaches. The role of knowledge, expert and evaluation analyzes in shaping public policies.
3. The cycle of creating and implementing public policies: a) diagnosis and conceptualization of problems, setting the agenda; b) formulating policy, designing tools, selecting procedures; c) decision-making, selection of specific solutions; d) implementation of policies and decisions taken; e) monitoring and evaluation of a given policy according to the adopted criteria.
4. The specificity of creating and practicing public policy at four main levels: a) local and self-government (municipal, urban, regional); b) national (nation state, central authority); c) European (European Union and multi-level governance); d) global (global governance, global public policy).
5. Creating public policy in practice. Historical, cultural and political conditions. Characteristics and specificity of the most important models of creating public policy on selected examples. Contemporary development trends: marketization of the political process, decentralization, the role of NGOs, etc.
6. Discussions around student oral presentationa and essays showing the creation of horizontal or sectoral public policies in selected areas and countries (e.g. migration, family, education, health, science, natural environment, energy and climate, innovation, transport, agriculture, macroeconomic policies, urban, European).
