- Inhoud
This course sheds light on the most used methods in policy analysis. It touches upon the concepts of policy and public policy, but its focus is on the methods that can be used to analyze policies and make prescriptions for new policies. The course does not provide an exhaustive overview of all policy analysis methods. It discusses a selection of methods that are particularly useful to analyze aspects of European and national policymaking. Such methods are expert interviews, document analysis, case studies, stakeholder assessments, cost-benefit analysis, brainstorm, Delphi, problem structuring, etc. The course adopts a hands-on approach, meaning students will actively experiment with a diversity of methods and apply these to a concrete use case.

- Students can – with guidance – learn and act independently, creatively, critically and entrepreneurially.
