Policy-Making and Regulation in Europe (PUBL0019)

This module develops students’ knowledge of how policy-making takes place and policies are made in the European Union (EU). The module considers a number of key theories of EU policymaking relating to the main stages of the policy process: agenda-setting, decision-making and policy implementation. The module considers the theoretical claims and observable implications of these theories with respect to EU institutions, policymaking processes and policy outputs, and evaluates them from the perspective of empirical evidence provided by political science and public policy research. Different theoretical perspectives and the most recent empirical research are incorporated throughout the course to help students analyse a number of substantive policy areas.
