Course description
This course introduces students to the study of politics and public policy. The topics we discuss - happiness, climate change, the global financial, values, the relationship between science and policy, the impact of the Rudd Government - have been chosen for two reasons. First, because they are topical and (hopefully) interesting. Second, because they can be analysed using various theories about the policy process.
