Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to give students basic knowledge of the functions of different policy-making systems in Europe and develop their capacity of analysis of policies accounting for structural and procedural specifics of different models of policy-making both on the central and local government levels.

The course proposes a detailed overview of the policy-making in European states. Its structure is based on the analysis of separate elements - such as PA culture and models, models of decentralization, models of coordination, coalition building process - of the policy-making process and of major institutions that are involved in the process - representative institutions' roles, models of public service, government council and its support structures. The course will be finalized by an introduction to the comparative analysis of reform processes in different European states.
