Recorded history

Recorded as taught in semester 1 of 2026/27

This is history, not a promise. It is worked out from the terms recorded on student reviews and in the assessment facts BIRSA holds, so a term missing here may simply not have been recorded. BIRSA does not hold timetable data and cannot say whether a course will run in a given term. Check the faculty timetable before you register.

Course description

This course examines cases of public management and policy. The course aims to stimulate discussion on how the global dynamics affect the study and practices of public policy and management such as regionalisation and international collaboration. The course encourages class discussions on policy formation, policy agenda setting, and policy design using case study to identify and explain recent global public management and policy trends as well as the differences between the public management and policy structures and processes that change within the countries locally, regionally, and globally.
