COURSE OBJECTIVES 

This course is designed to permit students to understand the European Union Public Policy Process and to be able to conceptualise the EU's policy in terms of policy analysis. 

 

It provides an overview of EU policy making and the analysis of agenda setting, decision making and implementation processes in the EU.  

 

Learning outcome 

This course seeks to balance the theoretical and the immediately practical of the European Union Public Policy. It is focused on the analysis of the processes whereby public policies arise and are enacted in the European Union. It compares theories and models of policymaking and decision-making to illustrate the special requirements of the EU environment; examines the roles of various participants in the policy process: legislators, political parties, interest groups, administrators and administrative structures, citizens and the judiciary. 

Modalità di svolgimento dell'insegnamento
