Description
Public Policy Formulation and Analysis examines how governments identify problems, design solutions, and implement decisions. It covers the full policy cycle—agenda-setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, and evaluation—while introducing analytical tools like cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder mapping, and impact assessment. The field emphasizes the role of institutions, interest groups, and political dynamics in shaping policy outcomes, equipping students to critically assess why some policies succeed, others fail, and how evidence can inform better governance.
