This course will examine public policy in a comparative and international perspective. Gender, race, class and colonization will inform our comparison of policies and policy systems. This course also explores the increasing internationalization of public policy and the advent of global public policy, whereby international organizations play a powerful role in shaping public policy development in the developing world and in post-communist states. Topics covered will include comparative methodology and international variation in formulation and response to issues, such as employment, housing, domestic violence, poverty, health, and child welfare.
