SF-1195 Understanding Global Public Policy
The primary goal of this class is to review and analyze systematically the design, implementation, and evaluation of global public policies based on global indicators. After exploring and discussing global policy debates and examine what kind of values and ideas shape them, the student will develop the necessary skills to analyze critically policy issues and problems and learn about the constraints that policy makers must cope with in an environment of imperfect information. This course will also focus on dissecting indicators and databases often used by professional analysts to produce policy reports and recommendations for policymakers.
