Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course explores public policymaking as an increasingly internationalised phenomenon that can hardly be understood without exploring issues conceptualized through the lens of policy transfer, policy diffusion, policy learning or policy translation. The course adopts an actor-centred perspective and, thus, mostly focuses on the roles that various international/external actors, such as intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), professionalized NGOs, community-based organisations, and transnational knowledge actors play in these processes. Through the lenses of different theoretical approaches, the course discusses roles and functions of such actors, resources that they have at their disposal, as well as issues of their actorness and legitimacy in the conditions of increasing regime complexity in international politics. The course proceeds with a review of activities that international actors undertake in specific issue areas and contemporary sites of international policy transfer: peace and security, finance and development, migration, health, gender. Specific attention is paid to their interactions with other international and local actors, including regional organizations and private agencies.
