Overview
About the course
Making policy requires the agreement and participation of many actors, such as politicians, bureaucrats, agency heads and staff, interest groups representatives, journalists, judges, local government heads, and citizen groups as well as international actors.
Students are introduced to the process of making policy in this complex world. This requires an understanding of the stages of the policy process, the difference between policy outputs and policy outcomes, and how agenda-setting takes place.
The Approaches to Policymaking course King's College London also covers the interface between politics and policy, especially the relationship between politicians and civil servants, and the role of ideas in public policy.
