• This exciting programme seeks to understand the ways that policy is formulated within this evolving and dynamic context, by drawing on the core concepts of policy analysis and theories of policy change.
  • As well as offering insights into the policy actors, coalitions and forms of evidence that shape the creation of both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ policy, it will also provide understanding of the policy making architecture that characterises local, regional and supranational institutions. 
  • The programme will also explore the social, political, economic and historic contexts in which policy is formulated and the ways that power influences policy formulation.
