POL374: Australian Governments and Public Policy |
This unit surveys the political and policy institutions of contemporary Australia, first within a broad comparative framework (especially Britain, USA, South Africa) and then examines examples of local policy-making, both historical and current, through the so-called 'policy cycle' of policy definition, decision, implementation and evaluation. The unit aims to explain policy-making modes through reference to the theoretical literature of the subject and to connect the study of public policy to the world of work.
