Handbook of Teaching Public Policy
Résumé
The Handbook is structured in six parts. Unlike the last part, which proposes a general overview of the curricula proposed in the different continents, the five first divisions can be understood as tackling variations of the same question: how can we teach public policy? Rather than proposing a single answer to this complex issue, we have chosen to ask the same question in different ways. How can teaching public policy be understood through the lens of different pedagogical approaches (Part I)? How can we teach different public policy theories (Part II)? How can we teach different methods through which to study public policy (Part III)? How can we teach different analytical public policy tools (Part IV)? How can we adapt public policy teaching to its different publics (Part V)? How is public policy taught across the world (Part VI)? All of these questions are related and complementary, and we divided them in this manner as a strategy to increase the variety of viewpoints and give our ‘art and craft’ discipline, which has traditionally been difficult to delimit and describe, some form.
