Learning outcomes
|
The course prepares students for the critical analysis of public policies and understanding of the process of their creation. Students will learn to understand the contexts influencing the creation of policies and to evaluate the possible impacts of policies not only on the formerly planned target groups, but also on the bureaucratic systems themselves. Particular examples will illustrate policy as a moral concept, tool of the government, complex network of actors, mobilizator of resistance and form of governance, that influences everyday lives of many people.
