COURSE OBJECTIVES
This section of the course is designed to permit students to understand the European Union Public Policy Process and to be able to conceptualise the EU's policy in terms of policy analysis.
The first part provides an analysis of the main concepts of the public policy analysis. The second part aims at analysing the EU policy process in terms of policy cycle.
Learning outcome
This course seeks to balance the theoretical and the immediately practical of the European Union Public Policy. It is focused on the analysis of the processes whereby public policies arise and are enacted in the European Union. It compares theories and models of policymaking and decision-making to illustrate the special requirements of the EU environment; examines the roles of various participants in the policy process: legislators, political parties, interest groups, administrators and administrative structures, citizens and the judiciary.
Teaching Method
The front lessons are combined with interactive seminars. Classes will be run as seminars, namely it is expected that all students participate in the discussion of the material presented. Each student is required to read the compulsory chapters of each class session prior to class meetings, write a two-page ‘discussion paper’ and email it to the professor by the class day. On the class day, the discussion papers are reviewed and discussed by all the students.
The student is required also to write a final paper (about 6000 words) which must reply to the list of “study questions” given by professor during the classroom.
Assessment method. The GLOPEM Degree Course regulation's specific provisions permit to be admitted to the final exam those students who attend the 70% of class session (for this part of the course: 21 hours/30; 7 classes/10). Being absent more than three times is cause for not be admitted to the final exam.
Assessment is based on the evaluation of:
40% Writings discussion Papers
20% Participation in Class Scheduled Debate
40% Term Paper
