Law, Governance, and Public Policy

О курсе

Understand how laws, institutions, governance, and public policy shape societies and development. This course is designed for learners who want to build a deeper understanding of how governments make decisions, how policies are formulated and implemented, and how legal frameworks influence public outcomes. Explore democracy and development, different models of governance, state capacity, constitutionalism, separation of powers, and the Rule of Law. You’ll examine how law and public policy intersect and develop the ability to analyze competing conceptions of justice, including liberal, utilitarian, communitarian, and political perspectives. Go further by exploring the policy cycle—from agenda setting and policy formulation to implementation and evaluation—and understand how power, institutions, and law influence policymaking. You’ll also examine how international institutions, treaties, human rights frameworks, and global commitments shape national and local policies. Whether you’re interested in public policy, governance, law, development, government, or social change, this course will help you develop analytical skills to understand and evaluate complex policy and governance challenges.
