DSPO 25A07 - Comparative Public Policy Analysis: Western European and North American urban policies — Fabrique des Maquettes Pédagogiques

Informations

The course provides an introduction to comparative public policy analysis used in political science and

administrative studies. It intends to develop theoretical and methodological skills for students interested in

public policy analysis. This class provides the necessary tools for understanding and conducting in-depth

research on a variety of political issues. Each class is divided in two parts. The first part of lecture deals with

the main concepts in public policy analysis. The second part applies those concepts to a specific policy related

to urban issues though a presentation by the students followed by either a group work or a debate in class.

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

Understand and criticize comparative analytical frameworks
Investigate policy processes, outputs and outcomes across various policy areas
Conduct their own research on a specific policy domain following a comparative perspective

The course is structured so that the learning experience in class sessions is cumulative. Students will be

expected to read all assigned readings, regularly attend and contribute to the class. They will develop their

own comparative analysis of one policy in the US or Canada and in a European country.
