The aim of the course is to provide students with both theoretical and practical insights on the public policy process with an emphasis on coastal communities. We will spend time on how issues get on the agenda or disappear from it, the role of different actors in the process and how problem definition affects the public policy proces. Students will get training in analysing different policy options, as well as gain insights into implementation and accountability challenges.
I prefer teaching in an interactive setting, so I put an emphasis on discussing the material with my students. In addition to reading academic text, doing assignments and taking part in the lectures, students will go on a field trip.
