Content
The policy decisions and activities of governments affect all aspects of the lives of citizens. At the same time, non-government actors including firms and interest groups - from the local through to the global - participate extensively in the policy process, with the boundary between public and private action contested and uncertain. This unit examines a range of important, contemporary policy issue areas such as the environment, health, welfare, employment and the economy. The aim is to provide an introduction to the tools and theories of public policy, focusing on questions of power, policy networks, intergovernmental relations, the influence of market models, and the debates over governance and the 'regulatory state'.
