POLI 352A Comparative Politics of Public Policy

Public policy can be broadly defined as what governments do to attend to societal problems and needs. Situated at the intersection of public policy analysis and comparative politics, this course examines the fundamental question of why do different nations respond to similar societal issues with very different policy strategies.
