57114 Policy, Advocacy and Social Change
8cpGraduate subject – Social Inquiry – 400 level
This subject is designed for advanced-level studies for students interested in the processes of politics and change. It focuses on the ways in which interventions can influence change in both policy and practice in governments and other institutions. It explores political processes both formal and informal, with an emphasis on the latter, in which policy decisions are made and implemented.
The interactions of all 'stakeholders', politicians, parties, lobbyists, community advocates and public servants are examined in the context of political theories on ideologies and power. This subject is designed to emphasise political theories and analysis of power and change as well as the status of current policies within those contexts. Students are expected to draw on current writings in the media and analysis of current issues and to use some classic readings.
